Chapter Six
It seems as if I was wrong about Gatsby. After reading chapter six, it’s clear that Gatsby is as innocent as the rest of the class predicted. Lingering questions the class had were answered and it’s fair to say that he’s an overall good person. Aside from his hardworking past, it’s interesting that he was not always weathy. I also found it interesting how Fitzgerald explained how Gatsby grew a strong amount of affection for wealth.
The party at Gatsby’s house…akward? I don’t know what’s going on with Tom. It seems like he has a strong hatred towards Gatsby, but never really confronts him. He’s almost waiting to catch he and Daisy in order to confront them about their love for each other. What was even more akward in this chapter was that when Nick walked into Gatsby’s house, Tom was there! What’s he doing? Does Gatsby know that Tom knows? Does Tom know that his wife and Gatsby are inlove?
Also, towards the end of the chapter, it’s clear that Gatsby is intimidated by Tom but does not let that get in the way of his love towards Daisy. Ultimately, he has devoted his life to pleasing her, and would rather see her happy than anything else in the world. What next?
