These are
the two last chapters of the book, narrating an ending I was not expecting. Here
is when the real feelings and emotions are shown. Gatsby does not lose hope; he
still waits for Daisy to leave Tom to finally get reunited. Nick already
figures out that Daisy will not leave the comfort of her present life style to be
with a “new rich” that might not be able to afford her material needs. Nick
tells Gatsby to go away and start a new life but Gatsby does not listen, he
wants to wait at least one more day, and that one day makes the difference.
The next
day while Gatsby is using his swimming pool, another character named Wilson
comes and murders him thinking that he was the one that run over his wife since
Gatsby was the owner of the yellow car. However, Daisy was the one driving
Gatsby’s car at that moment. His feeling toward Daisy is so big that he covers
her taking all consequences to himself. Now, the most disappointing realization
about Daisy Buchanan is that she was not as good of a person as I expected her
to be. She did not care about Gatsby because she run away with Tom as soon as
she could and did not even call or send flowers for Gatsby’s funeral. The same
thing happens with all the “friends” that attended Gatsby’s parties or worked
with him. None of them came for his funeral other than Nick, Gatsby’s father
and some of Gatsby’s servants.
