GATSBY CHAPTER 8 NOTES AND THOUGHTS
1. When Nick shows up early in the morning, Gatsby tells him that he had been waiting for Daisy till 4 in the morning but nothing happened. Gatsby mentions how much he loved Daisy but she couldn't wait for him to come back and that's why she ended up marrying Tom.
2. Nick suggests that Gatsby goes away and forgets Daisy but he refuses to do so because he thinks that Daisy will eventually leave Tom for him.
3. Gatsby says that Daisy was the first girl that he felt close and the night they slept together to seal the pact (she would wait for him to return from war), he felt married to her already.
4. I think the author interrupts the tense relationship dialogue with a secondary character and the mention of the pools because it helped Gatsby breathe since he had just been talking about Daisy. This allows Nick to say goodbye to Gatsby and leave the conversation.
5. The climax of the story had been in chapter 7 when Tom finds out about the affair between Daisy and Gatsby.
