Daisy in The Great Gatsby, what symbol (object) best represents her character?

from the book The Great Gatsby by Scott Fitzgerald

Daisy in The Great Gatsby, what symbol (object) best represents her character?
A flower. In the novel, Fitzgerald writes of Daisy "Daisy suprised me by opening up... in a flower-like way".

Her namesake says it all. She is like a flower, delicate, beautiful, and can easily wither.
Reply:The green light. Her dock light is the green light, and green represents her character. She's so greedy, and she's also immature. She doesn't stand up for her own actions at all throughout the entire book. She leaves them for other people to clean up. She values money and wealth above all else.
