When someone comes off too eager for something they desire, sometimes the satisfaction won’t meet the expectations they primarily had. The thrill to chase that dream has vanished and has now turned into a bland, dull thought. Gatsby’s memory of Daisy had changed and then builds her up to more than she actually is. He then proceeds to market Daisy as something completely different. The tendency for Gatsby trying to lie to himself about his memory of Daisy has faded and is now trying hopelessly to revive his past feelings about Daisy. “He had been full of the idea so long, dreamed it right through to the end, waited with his teeth set, so to speak, at an inconceivable pitch of intensity”(Fitzgerald 92). The cumbersome attitude of Gatsby towards

Gatsby creates an unrealistic illusion, with his love for Daisy. He believes that he can ‘win her back’ and his life will change from how it was when he and Daisy were together. This later ended in disappointment. “I can’t help what’s past.” She began to sob helplessly”

" Fitzgerald - 17 years old. This shows Daisy’s awareness that although Pammy will be born into wealth, Daisy doesn’t want her to be consumed by it or for her to think money is the way to happiness. “No amount of fire or freshness can challenge what a man will store up in his ghostly heart."

At the beginning of the book Nick sees Gatsby as a mysterious shady man. In the beginning of the chapter Nick somewhat resents Gatsby. In Nick’s opinion Gatsby was the representation of “…everything for

All in all, as presented through this work, Gatsby was indeed in love with Daisy for the most part, in the beginning of their relationship, but it all change when Gatsby lost Daisy and so he let himself believed that his past was the one to blame for this circumstances. It is after this, that Gatsby became rather obsessed with the idea of Daisy and having a lovely future with her, because having her meant having it all: stability, confidence, love, happiness and so on. Also, it meant that he had succeeded in life as a whole. “Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that’s no matter—tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther. . . And then one fine morning— So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.” (Chapter 9) All his life, Gatsby intended to escape

This is noticeable when he is talking to Nick. He thinks he can fix everything which we see when he is talking to Nick, “ ‘ I’m going to fix everything just the way it was before,’ Gatsby said, and nodding determinedly. ‘She’ll see.’ ”(110). At this point in the novel Gatsby sees how close his goal is, but he feels that the only way to get Daisy is to repeat the past and ignore the present, so she can feel the way she did about Gatsby before she met Tom. All the characters in this book will do anything to repeat the past, and do not see all the opportunities in front of them. Yet they are living in the roaring twenties, when everyone was trying to move forward with there lives. This idea from society is ironic to the characters in the book, because society is taking advantage of these opportunities of being wealthy, getting jobs, and living in the moment. Ironically Daisy, Gatsby, and Tom are living in the past, trying to take advantage of of opportunities that have already ended, specifically with Gatsby and Daisy’s relationship.

Gatsby was pondering his life, he gained the wealth and material possession yet, he was lacking the status to win back Daisy's love which he yearned for.

He did not know that it was already behind

When Daisy states “Bles-sed pre-cious” she has a pretentious tone because everybody knows that she did not raise the child, it was mostly the nanny and then occasionally Daisy.

Although to Nick, Gatsby seems at once completely unoriginal, extremely knowable, being with him, he notes, was "like skimming hastily through a dozen magazines” (Fitzgerald 55). Gatsby, in Nick’s point of view, was disruptive. He is unable to trust Gatsby, for a fear that he would just vanish at the moment in which a promise leans toward its fulfillment.

Gatsby’s intentions were to change and leave his past behind, from his poor farm boy, to a rich millionaire. He wanted to show her his wealthy lifestyle to impress her and persuade her to leave her husband, Tom. Is Gatsby an odd man crazy about Daisy? or is he a creep for doing so? Well being that Gatsby is an introverted kind of person, Gatsby often prefers to stay quiet in the background, even at his own luxurious parties.
