What Is The Great Gatsby Dialectical Journal

Gatsby and Daisy had met years prior, but ended up going their separate ways. However, Gatsby remained in love with Daisy and longed for her affection. The two reconcile, and Daisy starts seeing Gatsby outside of her marriage with Tom. In this, Daisy is leading Gatsby on by making him believe he will attain his ultimate dream: a life with her. However, Daisy knows deep down she will not leave Tom for Gatsby. This is proven when a confrontation about the affair sparks between Tom and Gatsby, and Daisy attempts to defend Gatsby and stick up to Tom, but ultimately fails and retreats back to her husband. “Her frightened eyes told that whatever intentions, whatever courage she had had, were definitely gone” (Fitzgerald 135). Daisy’s carelessness shines through in leading Gatsby to believe she would abandon Tom for him, but fails to follow through. She recklessly broke the heart of the man who had been in love with her for many

While at the hotel, Gatsby reveals his secret relationship with Daisy to Tom, and attempts to convince Daisy to ask for a divorce with Tom. While Tom and Gatsby argue, Gatsby completely loses his temper at one moment and unleashes a whole different Gatsby that frightens everyone, especially Daisy. After that moment, Gatsby apologizes for his behavior but Daisy leaves the room crying, Gatsby runs to catch up to Daisy as everyone in the room stays silent.

Gatsby’s dream of being with Daisy is completely shattered by Tom’s words and Daisy’s demeanor and actions. Tom reveals the truth about the persona that Gatsby had created, known as “Jay Gatsby.” Tom tells them all that Gatsby is a “common swindler” and a “bootlegger…and [he] wasn’t far from wrong” to assume; consequently, Daisy was “drawing further into herself,” for learning how Gatsby obtained his affluence changed her mind about wanting to be with him. Her intentions of leaving Tom vanished within her, as she told Gatsby that he demanded too much of her. When it all becomes too much to bear, Daisy resorts to calling to Tom to take her away demonstrating to Gatsby that she picks Tom over him. This was Gatsby worst nightmare: to have Daisy

Daisy’s past catches up to her when she meets Gatsby endangering the marriage, according to Tom, of him and

When Daisy tells hims she cannot claim she does not love her husband Tom, it deflates Gatsby. He can't believe it. But Daisy is also deceitful because she does still love Gatsby but won't confess it either. Tom sees something going on, but in an attempt to prove that Gatsby does not threaten him, he lets Gatsby and Daisy drive together from the city back to their homes in West Egg. This drives turns tragic as well when Gatsby's car hits and kills Myrtle, Tom's lover and Mr. Wilson girlfriend. There is more deception when Gatsby tells everyone it was himself driving the car when in fact it really was Daisy. Tom tells Mr. Wilson about the accident and Mr. Wilson goes mad, killing Gatsby and then himself.

To begin with Gatsby invests his new fortune and decides to buy a mansion on the West Egg directly across from where Daisy lives on the East egg on Long Island. With this he intends to become closer to her. “ ‘Gatsby bought that house so that Daisy would be just across the bay’” (Fitzgerald 83). With Daisy being closer to him they meet once again but this only creates Gatsby's dream of being with her that much greater while Daisy wasn't truly sure of what she wanted. Showing how Gatsby never got over Daisy he tried to induce her with memories from the past while trying to spark a sign of love. “Here's a lot of clippings- about you” (Fitzgerald 99). While Daisy was looking at all the letters and pictures Gatsby had saved of her he felt his dream coming to reality, he felt like he had won her over once again. This made him feel like Daisy wanted everything to be just like how the used to be in the past. Afterall things took a drastic turn when Gatsby decided to show his unconditional love for Daisy the day she accidentally ran over Myrtle (the women Daisy's husband had an affair with) while driving Gatsby's car. Nobody had a clue that it was Daisy driving the car but Gatsby, but all he did was keep it to himself in fear that Daisy could be affected if people found out that it was her who was driving the car during the accident. “It was

Tom, Mr. Gatsby and even Daisy seem to be simultaneously blinded and driven by their greed, though much of it is in an unusual form. Tom’s lust for another woman causes him to cheat Daisy, the love of his life, and not only jeopardize his marriage, but also takes the chance of his child growing up with divorced parents. Mr. Gatsby and his desperate obsession with Daisy worms his way between the already unstable couple (though not because of Tom’s affair), damaging their marriage and almost convincing Daisy to renounce her love for Tom even saying on page 132 that she doesn’t love him, and divorce him, despite Tom’s misdeeds and his affair, which is currently unknown to them, he still loves Daisy and she still loves him causing an exceptional clash of interests. Finally Daisy’s love for both Tom and Gatsby causes plenty of indecision and her eventual compliance with Gatsby nearly results in a divorce with Tom which would have been disastrous for their

When Daisy finally leaves with Gatsby she is not in the right state of mind. All Gatsby can do is hope that Daisy will not bail on their dream and go back with her husband.

Gatsby has been at work for Daisy ever since he met her, but in the end Daisy always chose her husband and not her lover. He would always try to win her over with expensive things. This quote describes perfectly what Gatsby was doing, “ his goal is galvanized for him early on when was a poor young army lieutenant he is prevented from pursuing a relationship with Daisy.” Gatsby still trying his best efforts sent a love letter to Daisy on her wedding night. Daisy opened the letter, she loved it but knew she had to marry Tom. When Gatsby is killed, Daisy forgets all about him and moves on with her life. This quote describes Daisy and Gatsby 's relationship. “ Possibly it had occurred to him that the colossal significance of that light had now vanished forever. Compared to the great distance that had separated him from Daisy it had seemed very near to her, almost touching her.” When Daisy finally is won over by Jay Gatsby he dies and Daisy immediately runs back to Tom just as she always has done in the past.

One humbling aspect of Gatsby is how he reminisces about Daisy’s presence. He thinks about the first time they met when they sealed the deal in his book. “His heart beat faster and faster as Daisy’s white face came up to his own. He knew that when he kissed this girl, and forever wed his unutterable visions to her perishable breath, his mind would never romp again like the mind of God. So he waited, listening for a moment longer to the tuning fork that had been struck upon a star.

they start seeing each other and fall in love again, which is part of Gatsby's dream. later the decide to tell Daisy's husband that she is leaving him for Gatsby. Daisy chickens out and her husband, Tom, finds out anyway. Tom is really good at making people do what he wants, so he takes them somewhere to change how Daisy feels. Or at least stress her to the point of doing something stupid.

During the lunch, Daisy and Gatsby are unable to hide the love they feel, and Tom becomes suspicious. Meanwhile, Daisy comments on how she is bored and asks Gatsby if he likes the idea of going into the city, at which Gatsby looks at her in a passionate manner. At this moment, Tom is sure that there is something brewing up between the two and thus wants to have a confrontation. Using Daisy’s suggestion as an opportunity, he encourages a trip to New York City. On the journey, he sends Daisy to accompany Gatsby in his car, while he, Jordan, and Nick ride in Tom’s car.

Gatsby managed to earn all of his money to impress Daisy Buchanan by being a bootlegger. Although Gatsby shows some morals when Daisy hits Myrtle Wilson with his car. Gatsby tells Daisy to stop and return to the accident but she refuses. He then pulls up the emergency brake and takes the driver’s seat himself. Even Though he had shown some morals, his mind went back Daisy’s decision to be with her husband Tom and not about the woman she had killed. Nick describes Gatsby after that night by saying "However glorious might be his future as Jay Gatsby, he was at present a penniless young man without a past" Gatsby then takes the blame for Daisy, which then leads to his death. This shows that although Gatsby does have a moral system, it doesn't exist when it involves
