So, in chapter six, we are beginning to see a little more drama. The drama is mainly isolated between one underlying character whom I believe may play an important roll in the future. Tom is starting to get very curious about how Jay knows Daisy and seems antsy about it. Though he plays it off as cool as he can, the author of The Great Gatsby, Scott Fitzgerald, subtly shows that there may be a problem. When Tom and another couple are over at his house for tea, we see that it was a somewhat awkward meeting. Tom and the other man there obviously didnt want to socialize too much with Jay, but Mrs. Sloane would like to talk. "She says she does want him.( Fitzgerald, 103)" Jay is turning out to be quite the trouble and drama maker in this novel. Then, after he invites Daisy over to his house for one of his insane parties, he makes up his mind that he wants to relive the past and rekindle what they had. However, Nick makes him aware that this will not be possible. Gatsby is frantic but dedicated and resolves that he will rekindle it no matter what.
