"She hesitated. Her eyes fell on Jordan and me with a sort of appeal, as though she realized she had never, all along, intended doing anything at all. But it was done now. It was too late." pg 132
Daisy gives signs of great ambiguity throughout the entire novel. In the beginning, she seems content with her life with Tom. Even though he has a mistress, she is well-off with all the wealth she could ever want. I believe she constantly struggled with the idea to stay and be well-off with him, or to leave him. Her courage came when she met (re-met) Jay Gatsby and remembered her great love for him. But, in the passage above, Daisy makes the decision to stay with her husband and be loyal to him. It can be easily interpreted that she is unhappy and unsure of her decision and her current situation. These constant thoughts illustrate an internal conflict inside her..Gatsby or Tom?!?!?
