After reuniting with Gatsby for the first time in five years, Daisy comes to one of Gatsby’s parties with Tom. Nick notices she isn’t enjoying herself, stating: I knew that except for the half hour she’d been alone with Gatsby she wasn’t having a good time.
Gatsby introduces Tom as “Tom Buchanan the polo player” to belittle him while seeming like he is paying him a compliment. Daisy is thrilled to be meeting so many famous people. Daisy and Gatsby dance a little and stroll over to Nick’s house to spend half an hour alone.
One way to think about this is When Daisy goes to Gatsby’s party, she seems miserable, which does not correlate with Jay’s expectations. She feels bad not because she dislikes the party, but because she enjoys it more than her own life. Chapter 6 gives readers information about Gatsby and uncovers Mrs. Buchanan’s thoughts on party life.
How were Daisy and Tom acting at Gatsby’s party?
I really didnt grasp what it was asking. Daisy and Tom are old money. They like status and reputation. The people gathered at Gatsby’s house are no particularly well known (except for a few), and they behave openly in a manner that was not traditionally accepted.
What is the significance of Daisy in the Great Gatsby?
Daisy is the embodiment of dream and without her the life is meaningless and futile. The thing that broke the iron will of The Great Gatsby is just the mere fact that Daisy is just a human, not the ideal being, but just a spoiled and depressed woman.
What happens at the party at Gatsby’s house?
The following Saturday night, Tom and Daisy go to a party at Gatsby’s house. Though Tom has no interest in the party, his dislike for Gatsby causes him to want to keep an eye on Daisy. Gatsby’s party strikes Nick much more unfavorably this time around— he finds the revelry oppressive and notices that even Daisy has a bad time.
What does Nick think about Gatsby’s kiss with Daisy?
As he walks amid the debris from the party, Nick thinks about the first time Gatsby kissed Daisy, the moment when his dream of Daisy became the dominant force in his life. Now that he has her, Nick reflects, his dream is effectively over.
Another frequent question is “Does Nick ever see Gatsby and Daisy again?”.
Nick sees neither Gatsby nor Daisy for several weeks after their reunion at Nick’s house. Stopping by Gatsby’s house one afternoon, he is alarmed to find Tom Buchanan there. Tom has stopped for a drink at Gatsby’s house with Mr. and Mrs. Sloane, with whom he has been out riding.
