How would you describe Daisy's state of mind during dinner? What does she say

struggling for attention at the beginning of the dinner, however there's a painful
awkwardness that sets in after the phone call when she and Tom disappear into the

clear to him that she has no intention of doing so. What indication is there that

, Tom and Daisy are closely linked despite their marital difficulties? - ANSWER - Tom
and Daisy seem to be pretty set in their ways. They're both used to money and
attention. Both are a part of the advanced, sophisticated, elite crowd which views
the world in a scorned, cynical way.


What indications are there that the green light will have a powerful emotional
significance to Gatsby? - ANSWER - Gatsby is so near and yet so far away from a
green light. He is stretching out his arms toward an elusive goal that he cannot
quite reach


What is Gatsby's dialogue like in this chapter? What does it tell us about Gatsby? -

to this point. In this chapter we see a quiet, unsure, and secretive

shirts, ordered from England, out of his cabinet and throws them on the bed-
symbolize


How does Nick meet Tom's mistress? - ANSWER - Tom takes Nick into the city and on
the way there stops off at her house/her husband's garage to meet her. They then
go into the city and have a party at the apartment Tom rents for Myrtle and their
indiscretions


How does Myrtle react to Tom's arrival? - ANSWER - Myrtle seems exuberant and
vivacious. She walks sensually down the stairs; she's full of life and very sexual and
she makes passionate eye contact with Tom. She was clearly awaiting his arrival.


Describe George Wilson. How does he react to Tom's arrival? - ANSWER - George has
blond hair and light blue eyes; he is spiritless, anemic (lacking power, vigor, vitality,
or colorfulness; listless; weak), and only faintly handsome. He seems hopeful for
something that Tom may bring (we're led to believe it has something to do with a
car that Tom was going to sell him).


How does Myrtle behave as the party progresses? - ANSWER - Myrtle is no longer as
full of life (vitality) as she was when he first met her. Now she's displaying a hauteur
which is growing more and more over the night, displaying a fake superiority which
she has no right to claim
