In The Great Gatsby, everything is shown as dreamlike and illusory - especially Gatsby's house, which is described as "a factual imitation of some Hôtel de Ville in Normandy” which implies its artificiality, and the “tower on one side, brand new under a thin beard of raw ivy, and a marble pool” only adds to how unreal it truly is. Also, in Daisy's surname, “Fay” means “Fairy” in other words, suggesting that as a creature she will only adapt to a fantasy world, as she is unable to live in her own boredom, confined around Tom. It is possible that youth was the only thing magic they had: Daisy's name is the only thing she has left and, surprisingly, she did not take the surname of Tom Buchanan, to whom she is married. When she meets Gatsby, she is amazed and sees that she can still get back to what she has experienced before, something she feels is "like the world's fair." Similarly, like Daisy with Tom, Stella is trapped in her relationship with Stanley. One critic, Santosh Neupane, states that "Daisy's marriage has become painful and her affair with Gatsby has proved a welcome distraction" - Stella and Stanley's marriage has also become painful, but Blanche cannot become a distraction since she is she is the reason for the relationship
