The night scene by El Greco, mentioned by Nick is called View of Toledo-it was one of very few landscapes he painted and when viewed deeper, depicts the overall kind of carelessness of others and darkness to Gatsby's inner self #chapter89
As Gatsby's presence left, everyone else did as well-the weather became gloomy and you can feel Nick trying to reach out to Gatsby's past "friends", not even Daisy appears #chapter89#sadandslow
"I love you Daisy" "I always come back and in my heart I love you all the time" "I'm going to take better care of u from now on" #youhadyourchance#toolate#chapter7
"His hands took hold of hers, and as she said something low in his ear he turned toward her with a rush of emotion" (this is how it's supposed to be) #chapter5#whostom
Gatsby's description of his early life seems really shady because it seems really unrealistic and because he doesn't show up to his parties he is a mysterious person#chapter4 #whoisGatsby#ctaideas
"The girl who was with him (Tom) got into the papers too, because her arm was broken-she was one of the chambermaids in the santa Barbra hotel" #alwaysacheater#rightafterthewedding#poorDaisy
The whole end of #chapter3 when Jordan likes nick for being responsible because she's not responsible but nick loves Jordan for being careless and dishonest but thinks of himself as dishonest ๐ #what#chapter3#messylove
Throughout the whole book, Tom searches for excitement to fill the void in his life. His affair is the only way to feel a thrill because no one has any reason to respect him except for his money. #riskybusiness#chapter2#classdiscussion
Myrtle is out going which challenges his authority while Daisy is really preserved/ submissive-Tom sees competition in Myrtle and the only way he comes out on top is through his "masculine" action #chapter2#classdiscussion
"I'll say it whenever I want to! Daisy! Dai-" Making a short deft movement, Tom broke her nose with his open hand. (Watching the same parts in the movie as the book really helps compare and redirect emotion) #chapter2#canthaveyourcake#andeatittoo#pickone
