The Great Gatsby, Chapters 4-6
Questions and Answers 100%
Correct
Since most of his guests ignore him, why do they come to Gatsby's house? -
ANSWER - Gatsby's house is a popular place, providing free food, drinks, and lavish
amusements
What is a "bootlegger," and what does it have to do with the story? - ANSWER - A
bootlegger is a maker of illegal whiskey, especially during Prohibition, and it is
rumored that is how Gatsby made his fortune
In the list of guests to Gatsby's party, what further indication is there that old
money is in East Egg and the nouveau riche reside in West Egg? - ANSWER -
Generally, the names of the people at the party from East Egg have fancier, more
elitest names, while those from West Egg seem to have more ethnic names--also,
the people from West Egg are identified as show business people or gamblers, a
lower class
Why is Nick a little disappointed with Gatsby at the party? - ANSWER - Gatsby has
very little to say at the party, which is disappointing to Nick--hard to get interested
in Gatsby
What are knickerbockers, and why are they mentioned? - ANSWER - Knickerbockers
are loose, short pants, gathered at the knee--a guest is wearing them at the party
Why does Nick have to restrain his laughter when Gatsby says he is "...trying to
forget something very sad that had happened to me a long time ago"? - ANSWER -
Nick finds it a bit ridiculous that Gatsby uses that line and is trying to create an
image in saying so--Gatsby seems to be trying to steal an image from a romance
novel
What does Nick's conversation with him reveal about Gatsby? - ANSWER - As
suggested in Chapter 1, Gatsby seems to have a romantic disposition and a
tendency to rely on overused phrases like "Old boy"
, Why does Nick say that listening to Gatsby is like "skimming hastily through a dozen
magazines"? - ANSWER - Nick's conversation with Gatsby covers a number of topics,
all too briefly--they seem a bit made up to him
How does Nick feel about Gatsby after going to the party in Chapter 4? - ANSWER -
Although Gatsby's conversation seems a bit contrived, Nick for the moment believes
him completely
Would you say that Gatsby's wealth is "unfathomable"? - ANSWER - Yes, Gatsby's
riches seem to be immeasurable, so one might describe them as "unfathomable"
What is it that changes Nick's mind about the veracity of Gatsby's stories? -
ANSWER - Gatsby has a medal from Montenegro for his service during the war and a
picture of himself at Oxford
Who is Meyer Wolfsheim, and what do we know about him? - ANSWER - Wolfsheim is
an acquaintance of Gatsby's and a gambler; he's the man who "fixed" the 1919
World's Series, according to Gatsby--not educated, but clever
Jordan Baker recalls a time in 1917 when she saw Daisy and Gatsby together--what
indication is there that Daisy really liked Gatsby? - ANSWER - While Gatsby is in
town, Daisy seems to only want to go out with him; that winter, after Gatsby leaves,
she tries to go to New York to see him--for almost a year, she rarely goes out, but
suddenly marries Tom
How does Daisy behave the night before her wedding? - ANSWER - Daisy gets drunk
the night before her wedding, cries in the bathtub, and considers returning the
pearls Tom gave her to break off the engagement
Based on Daisy's reaction, whom do you think wrote her the letter she received on
the night before her wedding, and what did it say? - ANSWER - It seems like the
letter Daisy gets the night before she's married must have been sent by Gatsby,
and it probably speaks of his love for her
