The extract I have chosen to analyse, is located in the novel just some time after Daisy's driving skills have been tested in a game I like to call "Dodge the Pedestrians" and has miserably failed on level 2 were she was supposed to let Myrtle live and run over her by accident like a lame Grand Theft Auto player. (For those who don't know, Myrtle is Daisy's husband's lover; a kind of "suspicious" accident ins't it.) Here is a dramatization on the events...
Note: if you look close enough you can see Daisy's "oops face"
Well then, the cite is the following:
"She was the first "nice" girl he had ever known. In various unrevealed capacities he had come in contact with such people, but always with indiscernible barbed wire between."
Analysis: The writer uses the readers prior knowledge in order to make a connection between G's (Gatsby's) past and the actual situation. In this particular occasion he nick says "the first 'nice' girl he had ever known" referring to G and Daisy's encounter when G was on the army. this extract also suggests that Daisy was G's first link to refined society and also indicates that he only feels comfortable with her as the narrator says that "... he had come in contact with such people, but always with an indiscernible barbed wire between them. Finally, as Gatsby considers Daisy as "the first nice girl..." it may imply that he would take the blame for her as he is clearly in love with her.
Hope I haven't make you sleepy, but contrarily I expect you have enjoyed my analysis.
