GATSBY NOTES 4

• Why does F. Scott Fitzgerald list and describe the numerous people that have been to Gatsby's house?
• Is it to show Nick's keenness and observation skills?
• Or is it to show that no matter how many people Gatsby invites over, it will never fill the real isolation he feels?
• Gatsby reveals his past to Nick.
• All of Gatsby's family died, and he inherited the family fortune.
• It is revealed to us that Gatsby is in love with Daisy.
• Jordan tells Nick the story of Gatsby and Daisy as well as Gatsby's true intentions.
• Nick and Gatsby meet Tom Buchanan at the restaurant, but Gatsby disappears when Nick tries to introduce him.
• I believe this is because Gatsby knows that Tom is married to Daisy.
