Chapter 4

The major event that happens in this chapter is us finding out that Gatsby likes Daisy. We learned that they met years ago during the war. Jordan said that Gatsby “looked at Daisy while she was speaking, in the way that every young girl wants to be looked at sometimes, and because it seemed romantic to me I have remember the incident ever since.”(80) Gatsby seemed to make quit an impression on just Jordan alone, you can only imagine the impression that he made on Daisy all those years ago. We do not really know what else happened between them, but I assume that they had gotten to know each other better before he had to leave to go overseas. Daisy’s family did not let her say goodbye. I believe that what her family did to her she was very hurt and did not want to go through with anything like that again. Gatsby is now back and is obviously still interested in Daisy. He bought the house that he lives in “so that Daisy would be just across the bay,” (83) Jordan had told Nick. We see that Gatsby want to meet Daisy again after all of those years, but that he is also nerves and does not know what to do and asks for help.  Now we have to wait and see what Nick decides to do, and if he will help even though he will be caught up in yet another complicated relationship. We learned a little about Gatsby’s past and we also see another side of him, but he still seems just as mysterious as in the beginning. I think that later the relationship between Daisy and Gatsby is going to play a big part in the story.
