The Great Gatsby Climax

This chapter opens with a reporter at Gatsby’s door asking him if he had anything to say and wants to interview at random. It is explained that rumors are constantly going around New York about Gatsby. Nick knows mostly all about Gatsby’s personal life so he does not believe many or all of the rumors he has heard. Nick then begins to explain Gatsby’s personal life. It is explained that his legal name is James Gatz. He changed his name when he was 17 when he saw Dan Cody drop the anchor of his yacht into Lake Superior. It is also explained that Gatsby’s parents were “shiftless and unsuccessful farm people”. He actually had attended a small Lutheran college called St. Olaf’s in Minnesota. He only ended up staying there for two weeks then left.

Yet his actions of following and having hope in her would lead him to find her actions not supporting what he wished for. Daisy wants to be a part of his life, yet her actions and decisions would hurt him both physically and mentally. She believed a life with Gatsby would finally fulfill her. When she decides to leave the hotel room after the argument, “Staying with Gatsby she decides to drive the car overwhelmed with anger and realizes her fun with Gatsby has ended”(Samkanashvili 48). All her expectations came to the reality that what she wanted was not going to ever be what she got. Only caring about herself and her issues, after that was when she killed Myrtle. “And as a result of Myrtle’s death Gatsby gets killed for Daisy’s foolish behavior”(Samkanashvili 48). Her unreasonable consciousness was not what could save Daisy now. What she did led to the death of the person we believe she loved, yet what she did for him was not very impressive. When Gatsby’s funeral came “Daisy hadn’t sent a message or a flower”(Fitzgerald 174). She did not want people to know she was caught up in this business. Daisy and Tom went away on a vacation to get away from what had happened. She never cared enough for Gatsby to risk her own appearance of being ruined through her mistakes and misjudgement. But her misstep was accompanied by the physical and

So naturally Michaelis tried to find out what had happened, but Wilson wouldn’t say a word — instead he began to throw suspicious look at his visitor and ask himself what he’d been doing at certain times on certain days of the week. Just as the latter was getting restless, some workers came past heading to the door for his restaurant, and Michaelis approach the chance to get away, intending to return later. But he never did. He supposed he forgot to, that’s all. When he gets outside again, a little later after seven o’clock, he was remembered of the conversation because he heard Mrs. Wilson’s voice, loud and clear coming down-stairs in the garage.

Bridge: This is a truth that is found in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, novel full of unlikable characters, two of which are unhappily married women having affairs. The Great Gatsby is about a guy named James Gatsby. He buys a house in front of a woman named Daisy. He throws parties hopping she will come over but never does. It's a person named Nick that helps him out with Diarys. Daisy and Gatsby have history together, way back even before Daisy meet Tom. Gatsby does everything in his power to win back Daisy.

I think that gatsby was the one of the main causes of myrtle's death because when myrtle was hit by the car gatsby had told daisy to drive because he thought that having her drive would relieve some of her stress and sadness. When daisy was driving her mind was probably elsewhere after the argument. she had so much sadness because of when gatsby told tom"I've got something to tell you, old sport...Your wife doesn't love you,...She's never loved you. She loves me."after gatsby said this he and tom fought over her love. she was also sad because she told tom that she didn't love him even though she did love him.daisy got mad at gatsby and said "Oh, you want too much!" she cried to Gatsby. "I love you now--isn't that enough? I can't help what's

In the book “The Great Gatsby” there is many things that people say made Gatsby a great or a not so much of a great person. Gatsby was a great man because he became someone with almost everything anybody could and would want but grew up from with nothing, He made all this money from working jobs that were not so great and people envied him for it even though they did not know what he did, and he was just a very mysterious and many people found that very intriguing about him. person For people that didn’t know who he was when he was younger, they all expect him to be old money and get the money from his parents, but as we learn he made his money by working, good or bad jobs he still made money and he was successful and he was proud of it.

All of the people who once thought Gatsby was so wonderful are no longer interested. Gatsby is dead and life goes on without him. It is a sad ending in this way to see the lives of so many ruined and to see no one come to Gatsby's funeral. And even after everything, Daisy doesn't even attend the funeral which makes

Gatsby had the greatest downfall of them all due to the fact it took his life. In The Great Gatsby , “ Gatsby goes to spectacular lengths to try to achieve what Nick calls ‘his

But word gets around to George Wilson, Myrtle’s husband, that Gatsby killed his wife. So the next day George sneaks over to Gatsby’s and kills

Fitzgerald’s novel The Great Gatsby is a very inquisitive story and leaves many people questioning small details. In this novel, death, love and loyalty are key elements. In the summer of 1922 strangers had met once again feeling the love they felt years ago. Gatsby and Daisy were once lovers until war came between them and their love came to an end. Years passed and Gatsby and Daisy met once again feeling the same about each other but not being in the same positions. Gatsby is now rich and lives in a fancy house while Daisy is now married and has a child with Tom Buchanan. Not all partners are loyal and in this novel Tom is cheating on Daisy with another woman named Myrtle who is married to George Wilson. Daisy knowing about his infidelity

As Gatsby and Daisy continue to indulge in their love for each other, tensions with Tom and Daisy rise. In the final confrontation between Gatsby and Tom, Daisy’s world comes spiraling down. She is struck picking between Tom and Gatsby and confesses to Gatsby, “Oh, you want too much!’...‘I love you now – isn't that enough? I can't help what's past.’...‘I did love him once – but I loved you too.” (132). This confirms that Daisy is not the kind-hearted person that we were introduced to in the beginning. Instead she is a selfish woman who only acts for herself and her husband, and she will never be the same in the reader's eyes. The choice should have been easy after all that she went through with Gatsby in the past but she shows that there is always another side to the coin. The situation escalates and finally plateaus when Gatsby attacks Tom. Tom confident that he has won over Daisy, signals them to go home. In a flustered mindset Daisy accidently runs over Myrtle on her way back and Gatsby takes the blame. He explains to Nick, “Well, first Daisy turned away from the woman toward the other car, and then she lost her nerve and turned back” (143). Fitzgerald portrayed her as a morally good person but when she purposely slams Myrtle with a car it is shown otherwise. Daisy

The book The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, though not hugely successful at the time of its publication, is widely regarded as a literary masterpiece. F. Scott Fitzgerald took inspiration from the events in his own life to create a tale of love and lies, set in a time of endless illegal booze and hot new music. Fitzgerald and his wife were notorious party animals, and Fitzgerald had an experience with love that is perfectly reflected in the story of Gatsby. Fitzgerald puts a little bit of himself into the character of Jay Gatsby, forging a desperate man on an impossible mission for lost love, who eventually ends up getting his heart pierced in every imaginable way. Jay Gatsby is depicted as borderline perfect, but shows a fair amount of selfishness.

Gatsby continues to fight for Daisy, but ultimately, he is left with his dream unfulfilled. As the novel continues, tension arises between Gatsby and Tom, who both have a desire for Daisy. When Daisy drives Gatsby’s car back from the city, she hits and kills Myrtle, yet she simply drives away. Later that night, Tom and Daisy were conversing at the table together, and “there was an unmistakable air of natural intimacy” between them, “and anybody would say they were conspiring together” (Fitzgerald 145). At a time of crisis, Daisy had turned to Tom, not Gatsby, which marked the end of their relationship. Gatsby waited and waited for a phone call from Daisy the next day, but it never came. Daisy felt safe with Tom and his wealth, which is why, according to literary critic John F. Callahan, Daisy “once again chooses the conventional, worldly protection of Tom Buchanan” (Callahan 4). Since Gatsby had lost Daisy, he felt that he “paid a high price for living too long with a single dream” (Fitzgerald 161). John F. Callahan states that, “Gatsby is emptied of love and ambition alike,” and there is “no happiness to pursue” (Callahan 4).

Scott Fitzgerald depicts a wealthy man named Jay Gatsby who tries to reconcile with his past lover named Daisy, and all the while doing this, man-made violence--both physical and emotional--starts to take place that interrupts the love that he and Daisy had been building. As is present in almost all other American literature, the story focuses on the concept of many relationships and love between the characters in the novel, and one could even say that a love triangle in present in this story. Although many of these characters are in love, this love is not between them and their spouse. For example, Daisy and Tom are married, and Wilson and Myrtle are married, but none of them are being loyal to their significant other. Daisy is having relations with Gatsby, and Tom with Myrtle. The love between Gatsby and Daisy develops throughout the story, giving readers the hope that they would get back together in a permanent relationship after years without seeing each other. This story turns violent whenever Daisy runs over Myrtle, which was an accident, but Wilson then believes that Gatsby intentionally killed Myrtle. Although he was not the one who killed Myrtle in the first place, Gatsby takes the blame for Daisy, and chooses to keep quiet that Daisy was really the one driving the car that night. At the time of Gatsby’s death, Daisy and Gatsby’s love had been growing stronger and stronger. Gatsby confides in Nick, telling him “‘I can’t describe to you how surprised I was to find out I loved her, old sport. I even hoped for a while that she’d throw me over, but she didn’t, because she was in love with me too’”. Gatsby chose to take the blame for Daisy because he wanted to protect her. While Gatsby was “‘getting deeper in love every minute’” with Daisy, Wilson was plotting his revenge on the man he believed killed his wife. After Wilson kills Gatsby and takes his own life, and “the holocaust was complete”. This holocaust that Fitzgerald

Gatsby’s own father knew little about him or his success until he later found out before he died. Nick organized a funeral and intended for all of Gatsby’s acquaintances and loved ones to attend. Most of the cast had disappeared and the people that did go where Gatsby’s servants, Gatsby’s father, and Owl Eyes. The funeral, in Nick’s perspective, showed that while Gatsby was the epitome of wealth and success, his dream of spending the rest of his life with Daisy went unfulfilled. Constantly Nick fights with the values he gained from two characters, Gatsby and his own father.
