Having power is a big responsibility. Must people with power either take advantage of it or misuse it. when I was a kid a remember how I use to day dream bout being a powerful woman once I grow up, but as time pass I realize that the more power one has, the more responsibilities one carries around. I believe that power does not determine one bravest personality but that indeed is the way that person acts and the actions they take,specially because most of the time people mix power with materialist wealth.

"You did it Tom... I know you didn't mean to but you did do it. That's what I get for marrying a brute of a man, a great big hulking physical specimen of a ---" (16)
This quote implies how Daisy is not afraid of specking up her mind towards Tom but at the same time how he is the one in command of their relationship. Daisy who is marry to Tom believe that by playing a fool of her self she would gain more in life. Daisy intentions towards being a fool help her distract tom and make him believe she is blind for love but under that mask of stupidity, Daisy implies another facet of her self that is playing her card well in order to show her next move by fooling Tom once more.

Power represents everything in mine community. I recall that when I was a kid and use to look up to those big mans in suits. later on I use to look down because of respect or maybe fear. You could tell who had power and who did not. In the other hand when another man in jeans and stinky t-shirt use to pass by i did not even smile because i consider them as a person with a low personality who did not encourage himself to do better in life.I believe that this demonstrates how power does influence the way one see things in life and the actions they take.
