Question

Please complete your reading of Chapter 6 before beginning this assignment. Does Gatsby really love Daisy? I’m curious to hear if you buy into his dreams, or if you think he’s delusional and is really in love with the idea of her. Be sure to support your views with evidence from the text.

Answer 1

Yes, Gatsby really loves Daisy. He loved her so much that he pretended to be rich, just so she would look his way. When he went to war, he kept all her letters and memories sealed safely in a book. When he found out she was marrying Tom, he sent her a letter with the truth that he was in fact poor, and he let her go because he believed she would have a much better life.
