A guy who craved love from someone who didn't really love him. This problem ultimately led to his death. -  Gatsby let his past with Daisy blind him from reality. He didn't realize she had changed and wasn't the same Daisy he knew all that time ago. -  Gatsby was convinced that Daisy only loved him and no one else. She said that he loved both him and Tom. He didn't believe her and didn't want to believe her. - He was willing to go to jail if it meant Daisy would't get in trouble. Nick told him to get away but he didn't want to leave Daisy behind. He wanted to make sure he was safe. Daisy however couldn't care less.

I don't understand Daisy's behavior because she told Gatsby that she loved him but then she didn't even go to his funeral. She also let him take the blame for killing Myrtle. If she really loved him she wouldn't have done all that. I would't want her to date someone I know or care about because she's a bad partner and really con

Myrtle's sister Catherine told the coroner that her sister had never seen Gatsby or been with Gatsby. Nick was planning Gatsby's funeral and asking Gatsby's close friends if they would attend his funeral but they all said they couldn't make it. It goes to show that they didn't really care about him or else they would have gone to his funeral. At Gatsby's funeral, the owl eyed man showed up. He talked To Jordan before going home and he found out she was engaged to another man. He was still in love with her but he walked away. Nick said that Tom and Daisy were careless people. That they made a mess and then let other people clean up the mess they made.
