Gatsby’s one goal was to live a happy life with Daisy, just like he did all those years ago. This doesn’t end up happening since Daisy doesn’t leave Tom to go and get back with Gatsby. During Gatsby and Tom’s argument Daisy pleads with Tom to take her away and for them to leave, saying, “Please, Tom! I can’t stand this any more”(Fitzgerald 134).

1. The most crucial thing in the plot in chapter one is the moment during the dinner scene at the Buchanans where Mrs. Baker mentions that Tom has another woman beside Daisy. This is the most important scene because it feels heavy and Nick even describes it as if all subjects of conversation have faded and the room grew impenetrably silent. Some might say that the actual most important part of the plot is when Nick finally meets Gatsby by the end of the chapter, however, that is not the case because that moment doesn't add any information to the plot.

Acclaimed writer, F.

His use of language and imagery create an attitude of bittersweetness as Nick remembers Gatsby and does all he can to preserve his dreamer’s spirit even in death. Fitzgerald begins the resolution in what can be interpreted as the first stage of grief: anger, as Nick’s social interaction is limited as he avoids taxi drivers and neighbors alike. He then continues
