I wonder what Nick is worried about that pretty much keeps him up all night and has him not focused at work. He goes over Gatsby's house to talk to him about the other night. Nick suggests that Gatsby goes away but he refuses because he does not want to leave Daisy.
I'm not too sure why Michaelis has any part in Myrtle love life. He's not really a main character or of any importance to anybody in the novel. It somewhat makes me wonder if he had a secret crush on Myrtle. But he preaches on to Myrtle about how God see's everything and how she is sinning.
Wilson has every right to be upset with everything that has occurred. He found out that his wife was having an affair with another man but he isn't sure who it is. Then after he finds out her cheating, she gets ran of and dies from impact. Besides asking around if anybody knows who Myrtle has been having an affair with, he makes a quick decision. He goes to Gatsby's home and murders him. After he murders Gatsby, he takes his own life. If he would have asked around or even asked Gatsby about it, this could have been avoided. He killed the wrong guy. I wonder how Daisy will react to the news she will receive about Gatsby death.
Elaborate on your final statement Montell. Do you think she'll care that Gatsby's dead, or will that just relieve her of another burden that made her feel uncomfortable? Did she ever really love Gatsby at all, or was it just a fling, something different? You're touching upon the ideas of love, class, marriage, authenticity, the American Dream...all the stuff that characterizes this book. Elaborate though - be detailed.
