The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
Analysis over chapter 7 pages 113-128
Tension is extremely high is this first section of chapter seven. Due to Gatsby's and Daisy's rekindled relationship, Gatsby is no longing hosting his extravagant parties. Since these parties were solely created in an attempt to catch Daisy's attention, they are of no use to him anymore given the fact that they are back together. Later in the chapter, Daisy invites Gatsby, Nick and Jordan over for tea. It's pretty evident from the start that things are going to take a turn for the worse. Tom leaves the room to go fetch some drinks and in his absence Daisy kisses Gatsby and tells him she loves him. She is an idiot. Her husband is right there! Only a room away! I honestly don't know what she is thinking. Later, Gatsby's and Daisy are caught looking at each with their puppy love, longing eyes and right then and there Tom knows what's up. Nick states,"She had told him that she loved him, and Tom Buchanan saw. He was astounded. His mouth opened a little, and he looked at Gatsby, and then back at Daisy as if he just recognized her as some one he knew a long time ago,"(Fitzgerald, 119). In an attempt to control his anger, Tom suggest they go downtown, but on the way Tom had to stop for gas. Where else would fate bring the crew another than to Wilson's Garage. Wilson informs Tom that he is trying to go West with his wife due to his recent realization that she is having an affair, whomever could it be with?! Gatsby and Daisy continue to be too obvious about their little affair and Tom's anger increases with every movement. I'm just waiting for him to blow. It will be soon and won't be pretty. Oh man this is getting good...
