Notes and Thoughts on Gatsby


  •  When Nick comes home from his date with Jordan and is surprised to see all the lights at Gatsby's house
  •  Nick knows that Gatsby is just trying to get him to agree to him having Daisy over for tea when he's inviting him to places
  • Gatsby is somewhat bribing Nick into helping him plan everything and when he does he tries to offer his services to him (he can get someone to cut his grass)
  • Although Nick gets sort of offended because Gatsby is trying to arrange things, he still decides to call Daisy
  • Gatsby knows that when him and Daisy meet again, things will not be how they once were in Louisville
  • Gatsby worries that Daisy isn't going to show up but she soon does
  • When they're in Nick's living room they don't speak a word and they are unsure whether either of them are happy to see each other
  • I mean I would feel the same if I hadn't seen someone in such a long time. I mean you're simply not sure if things are going to the be the same way they once were
  • Daisy says she loves his mansion and Gatsby decides to show it to her and he never took his eyes off of her

At first he was just throwing parties to attract Daisy but now that he had her, he found it unnecessary. 2. Gatsby fires his staff because he doesn't want there to be any gossip about what's going on but he later replaces them with some shade individuals that Wolfshiem knows. 3. When Gatsby meets Daisy's child, he is stunned and can barely believe it's real and meanwhile Daisy seems to not be interested in her daughter. Her daughter looks more like Tom than her. 4. When Daisy and Gatsby were together, they couldn't hide their feelings for each other and Tom caught on to that. Tom confronts Gatsby and asks him what his intentions with Daisy are and he just mentions that she's in love with him (Gatsby). Tom also accuses Gatsby of a lot of things and as Daisy begins to notice what's going on, she takes Tom's side when Gatsby says that she's nev
