Chapter Five.

Nick invites Daisy to tea. Gatsby soon arrives at Nicks and he leaves them alone, he finds that they are hardly communicating with each other, he then goes outside and is followed by Gatsby, he then makes Gatsby go back in and join Daisy becuase she is embarrased.

When Nick goes back into the room where Daisy and Gatsby are he finds Daisy crying of happiness and Gatsby seems rather happy. They then go over to Gatsby's. When they get to Gatsby, they then have a tour of the whole entire house, Nick then wonders outside to leave Gatsby and Daisy together.

The whole sequence is full of pathos, the weather is acting as corollary to the tension felt by Gatsby and Daisy. Nicks role here is to just bring Daisy and Gatsby together, when Nick returns from leaving them alone the change in the atmosphere is warm and loving. At the same time one feels that Gatsby is lieing.

Chapter Four.

The chapter starts with a women calling Gatsby a 'bootlegger' which means one dealing in illicit liquor, smuggling. Nick then talks with Gatsby who tells Nick an elaborate story of his own antecedents, education, travels and all of it has the unconvincing ring of falsehood. Gatsby then seems to have built confidence between him and Nick because he then talks to her about Daisy.
Later that day Jordan tells Nick how in 1917 Gatsby and Daisy fell in love.

This chapter is mainly about the background of the characters, however towards the end the plot now hinges on Gatsby's need to meet Daisy.

Chapter Three.

This chpters opens with the description of the preparations for a lavish Gatsby party. Nick is invited round to Gatsby's where he re-meets Jordan Baker, throughout Gatsbys party Nick watches the way the people there are acting and then he wonders off home. Throughout the chapter description of Gatsby's parties are very detailed also makes everyone sound like they are having a good time, however Gatsby is no where to be seen. Towards the end of the night when everyone is leaving there is a car incident. Nick also relaises that Jordan Baker is a liar; on occasions he drove out with her, but he felt he 'must get myself definitely out of that tangle back home'.

Chapter Two Of The Great Gatsby

Beginning is a very detailed description of the valley of ashes, overlooked by the eyes of Dr TJ Eckleburg, the whole symbolizing the desolate land of poverty as distinct from the rich and plush surroundings of the previous chapter. Tom and Nick visit the garage, Tom's women who he is having an affair with is called Myrtle and her husband owns the garage, she tells Myrtle to get on the next train. Myrtle and Tom and Nick meet up and she sees a man on the street selling puppies and she makes Tom buy her one for their apartment, They then go back to Tom & Myrtles apartment, Nick tries to leave but ends up going back to their place and getting drunk. The dialogue flows like the liquor, throughout this chapter you get the description of how different Tom and Myrtle are. Tom is very brutal but that is typical of the man, an ironic humour plays over the whole party.
