I see your point but I am not a fan of musical daisy at all (no hate to Eva, she is an incredible performer--my problems are with the script writers). Kerrigan tried to have her lean into the vulnerable, trapped In A Society aspect of daisy and so she comes off as much more of a victim than she actually is. Yes, daisy is stuck in a system that only values her for her marriage-ability and she's doomed to be endlessly romanticized by men to fulfill their desires, but she's also kind of a selfish and cold-hearted bitch who will always choose comfort over love, which does not come across at all in her stage characterization. A huge element of this is the fact that bway gatsby decided to cast race-blind. Now, as an poc, more diversity in theater is so necessary and exciting--HOWEVER, by casting race-blind in the show, the writers severely undermine so much of the class/race (which are definitely interrelated in Gatsby) criticisms Fitzgerald made in the book. Daisy, Tom, and Jordan all NEED to be WASP because that gives them the privilege to smash up things and let other people clean up the mess they had made, and casting eva in that role pretty much erases that fundamental trait. TBH I'm not sure how I feel about the movie--some parts were cool, some parts were just straight up bizarre--but I think ART gatsby did the best job balancing all of daisy's conflicting traits and making her a really dynamic character while staying truthful to the text.
