A story can have unique ways to show how and what the characters are thinking and feeling. The Great Gatsby, the author, Fitzgerald, uses the weather and seasons to describe the mood throughout the story. Some examples are the rain in chapter five and heat in chapter seven. Fitzgerald does a good job of describing the emotions through the weather. “The day agreed upon pouring rain” (Fitzgerald,83) In chapter five, Fitzgerald used rain to symbolize the feeling Jay Gatsby has when he meets Daisy Buchanan again for the first time in five years.
