NOTES AND THOUGHTS GATSBY CHAPTER 5


  • Gatsby is an eager fellow
  • Gatsby offers Nick a "confidential" job where he can make the big bucks after he told Nick that he knew he doesn't make much
  • Gatsby and Daisy finally met up and they were both super shy 
  • Gatsby was super nervous to even meet Daisy
  • it's been 5 years since daisy and gatsby were together (jay kept track of time)
  • Gatsby has really been infatuated with Daisy for quite some time now and he wants everything to be perfect when it comes to her
  • there is a moment where nick walks in and sees daisy crying and gatsby's whole self seem to glow
  • gatsby lost most of his inherited money during the panic of the war, so it took 3 years to gain the money to buy the house he has
  • gatsby mentions how daisy always has a green light that burns all night at the end of the dock (that goes to show how he really pays attention and shows what kind of person he is)


It's super upsetting how Daisy is with Tom and not Jay, it's very clear how she doesn't feel the same way for Tom as she feels for Jay. Also just the thought that Jay has been keeping track of the time he hasn't seen Daisy is so, I don't how to best describe the feeling, but my heart feels heavy. That just goes to show how he feels about her...
