In the original Great Gatsby, Daisy embodies elusive privilege and beauty. In the zombified version, she is all the more elusive and dangerous. Soini turns Daisy into a kind of femme fatale mysterious, unreachable, and possibly complicitous in spreading the plague of the undead. Her voice is still “full of money,” but now it’s a siren’s call in a haunted landscape. Is she just the object of Gatsby’s desire, or something more? Her frigidity takes on new meaning when contrasted with the chaos around her. While the world falls apart, Daisy is untainted a terrifying symbol of emotional detachment and class immunity. Soini uses the zombie genre to disclose what Fitzgerald only intimated: that Daisy’s allure isn’t just false it’s fatal. Her refusal to be held responsible for Gatsby’s death is even more accusatory in a universe in which passivity equals death. Here, Daisy is no longer an inert symbol she’s a force that pulls men to their deaths, even as the zombies close in around them.
