Gatsby's Expectation
In Chapter five, Gatsby has Nick help him with inviting Daisy over for tea. He tells Daisy about these visions he has of the two of them living happy lives together, this is what he thinks of while staring at the green light at the end of the dock. Can Daisy really live up to the expectations of Gatsby though? When Gatsby brings Nick and Daisy into his mansion Daisy becomes overwhelmed with his lavish lifestyle. I think that Gatsby does have genuine feelings for Daisy. The book tells that before Daisy arrives Gatsby becomes very nervous and anxious, so nervous that he took a walk outside while it rained. Now that Daisy and Gatsby's love affair has been unveiled I think that Daisy will be forced to choose between Tom and Gatsby.

Good prediction Emily - what do you think about Gatsby though? Should he have moved on five years down the road, or is his timeless love for Daisy kind of sweet? Give some personal opinion.
ReplyDeleteI think it is sweet that Gatsby waited for Daisy all these years but I think it may be too late for him now. Although,I think it is possible that Daisy leaves Tom for Gatsby. Especially because Daisy stays with Tom for his money, however Gatsby has money too.
