Well, that was interesting! I have been noticing how well the author of The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald, creates a unique situation so far in advance. He does this multiple times in chapter four, especially the incident with Gatsby. Now, initially, I thought that when Gatsby took Nick out to lunch, he was saying that both of them were going to be meeting with Jordan late that evening to talk about something. However, as it progressed, I realized that Gatsby was trying to allow the two to set up a special meeting for Gatsby that he had been working towards throughout the entire novel. "Gatsby bought that house so that Daisy would be just across the bay.(Fitzgerald, 78)" A smaller plot is beginning to come full circle now. Daisy admits that she is not happy with her current life and husband. Gatsby is a wondering man hoping for a glimpse of the woman he so wishes he could know again, Daisy. And Nick, well he seems to be the connecting piece for the two of them. Randomly off topic here as well, what is going on with Gatsby when he leaves to take phone calls or messages? What is he up to?
