Pg. 81... "...lit from tower to cellar."
Gatsby has a big house, do for all of his lights to be on it a little ridiculous. Especially since he wasn't even having a party that evening he just had all of his lights on. He must be uneasy. Not being able to sleep and insists on having every single light on in his BIG house.
Pg. 83... "Who is 'Tom'?" she asked innocently"
When Nick asks Daisy to come over to tea, but tell her not to bring tom. She acts all innocent like she doesn't even know who her own husband is. I guess that is what happens when you have a husband who is never around and you know that he has another girl on the side.
Pg. 92.... "You always have a green light that burns all night at the end of your dock."
This brings meaning to what happened in chapter one. When Gatsby was standing on his lawn looking across the bay into a green light. Now that we know that he would always watch the end of Daisy's dock at night and probably even during the day. He knew that Daisy was across the bay all along he just never did anything about it because he was heart broken.
Pg. 94.... "I'd like to just get one of those pink clouds and put you in it and push you around."
To me I actually like this quote. It's just cute and then it also shows a little insanity at the same time. They just finally got reunited after five years and she says little things like these. She would never say anything like this to Tom. I feel like her feelings for Tom are just not there anymore and she stays because she has a daughter. Now that Gatsby's back in the picture I really wonder if she is going to choose Tom again or choose Gatsby this time.
Yes, he may have been unable to sleep, but he also wants to hear Nick's answer. Will Nick invite Daisy to tea?
ReplyDeleteDaisy isn't "acting innocent" she's just being playful with Nick. Have you ever said that before?
The green light gave him hope that someday...
I agree with your last response. I also see it as Daisy wanting to be alone with Gatsby and showing him off at the same time.
