“Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that’s no matter—tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther . . . And one fine morning—” Gatsby always had a certain sense of hope many did not that. He believed he was going to marry Daisy
My image is Nick pondering, this is important because of his revelations in this chapter. He truly realized who Daisy and Tom were and how they did whatever and used their money as protection. Daisy was too worried about her reputation to society and her and Tom came into Gatsby’s life and ruined it. Had Gatsby’s stayed away from Daisy right at the beginning who know what his life would’ve been. I like that he begins to realize the truth and wants to start to head home back West. I think that Nick does not really fit into their mindsets and lifestyles and he’s better away from it. It’s upsetting that very few people attend Gatsby’s funeral. It’s interesting that his father was there and told stories of Gatsby’s childhood. Gatsby’s true past and who he really was, is revealed in the past few chapters. There is a theme of anger and sadness from Gatsby’s death. Tom wanted Gatsby dead but he should’ve been shot by Wilson, not Gatsby who did nothing.
