CRRRRASHHHH....

The subtle romance between Gatsby and Daisy is barely described by Fitzgerald, it is more Tom’s suspicion about it that makes it intriguing and detailed. Gatsby is jealous about Daisy, you can sense this by the level of aggressiveness he uses when he tells Tom that he knows his wife. Gatsby is exposing himself too much. He feels the need to fire all his servants because Daisy is coming in the afternoons quite often and this might expose him, he needs to trust everyone. 

Personally, I would not dare to bring my lover home. Appsrently for Daisy it does not imply a large risk. 

“A he left the room again she got up and went over to Gatsby and pulled his face down, kissing him on the mouth.” (Fitzgerald, 1925, p. 116)

For Jordan it was too much, yet Daisy does not mind, she loves Jay and Tom does not love her or mind much about her other than she being his wife. Tom continues to meet with her lover in New York, who is also married. +

Goose bumps fill my arms when Daisy’s daughter is presented to Jay, the child is an accessory, rather than a human being. The problem relies on the clothes the child is wearing and how beautiful she is, which in this case thankfully she is. 

I dare to say that Tom uses a metaphor at first to tell both, Daisy and Jay that he is conscious about their affair. (It is important to mention that it is summer and it is pretty hot)

“‘I read somewhere that the sun’s getting hotter every year,‘ said Tom genially. ‘It seems that pretty soon the earth’s going to fall into the sun  - or wait a minute- it’s just the opposite- the sun’s getting colder every year’.”  

Gatsby is starting to realize that the image he has of Daisy is just an image, she is quite different, but it is the glasses of love that blur his sight. He says suddenly that her voice was full of money. 

Tom still does not believe the story about Gatsby’s past, there is something that just does not fit. He goes ahead and investigates him, fining out about the truth about his poor past. He get’s tangled up with a business of his own, his lover. He realizes that he knows her husband, and now he wants to go away. Lies and secrets are rarely kept untouched, they are normally discovered. Just like Gatsby’s past comes to life, the truth about Tom’s affair also comes to life. 

Not many pages after Toms’s direct speculating comment, Gatsby confesses that Daisy and him are having an affair. 

CRASH!!!

One of the most memorable Gatsbys scene. The lovers running away from the unfaithful macho husband, full of emotion, and then BAAAAM! DEATH
