Question

What rumors circulated about daisy after jordan baker first met gatsby? what inferences can one make from these rumors? please explain?

Answer 1

It was rumored that Daisy had been prevented by her mother from going to say goodbye to a soldier who was deploying from New York. This caused Daisy to not speak to her family for weeks. Later, she decided to marry a man named Tom Buchanon. The night before her wedding, Jordan found her in a tub, drunk, and crying. A letter, ruined in the tub, was inferred to be from Gatsby, and it caused Daisy to regret her decision to marry, even though she did so the next day. We are to infer that Daisy's soldier was Gatsby, and that she had held a torch for him all these years, and likewise him for her. Everything Gatsby had done was to get back to Daisy,
