Answer: Gatsby still loves Daisy, and is deeply convinced that the two of them can live happily ever after. He is trying to recapture his life at the time the two of them were together.

Explanation:

Jay Gatsby, the protagonist of the novel <em>the Great Gatsby, </em>is motivated by his emotions. He still loves Daisy, his ex-girlfriend. This is why he organizes all of those parties, stares at the green light at the end of Daisy's dock, and asks Nick to organize their meeting. He is trying to recapture himself in the past, and his relationship with Daisy. To Gatsby, there are no obstacles that cannot be removed. Daisy, on the other hand, is a married woman now, and has a child - her life has completely changed since the two of them parted. Gatsby is, for her, just a beautiful memory. Gatsby, however, sincerely believes that he can recapture the past, which is seen in his conversation with Nick, his neighbor and the narrator of the story:

Nick tells Gatsby,<em> "You can't repeat the past," </em>while Gatsby answers, <em>"Why of course you can." </em>

Gatsby does not change his opinion, until the end of his life. As Nick describes it, Gatsby has <em>"an extraordinary gift for hope."</em>
