NOTES AND THOUGHTS ON GATSBY CHAPTER 5

Nick and Gatsby invited Daisy over for tea at Nicks house. Gatsby was nervous to see Daisy again. As Daisy got out of the car, Nick went to greet her. When they walked back into Nick’s apartment he noticed Gatsby wasn’t there. He then knocked at the front door and came in. While Nick went to greet Daisy Gatsby had sneaked out the back door and went around. At first things were awkward and uncomfortable. Nick then went outside to give them some privacy. He came back in a half hour later and saw Daisy crying. Gatsby then decided to show Daisy his house and invited Nick to come along. They waited outside while Daisy freshened up. During the tour Nick wasn’t used to seeing the house quiet and empty since he had only been there for the parties. Seeing all the clothes and stuff Jay (Gatsby) owned made Daisy cry. She cried at the thought of knowing that was the life she could have had. In her current relationship she is getting cheated on constantly. Jay actually loves and cares for her.
