The Great Gatsby. Pages 113 - 129.

The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald.

At the beginning of this chapter, more peculiar behavior from Gatsby can be seen. Apparently, he had fired all of his servants in order to hire some others. These new servants had acquired a favor from Wolfsheim who asked Gatsby to provide that favor. All of this is irrelevant. Now on to the quasi important stuff. Nick and Gatsby go to the Buchanans for lunch and come to find Jordan there. It seems that Daisy urgently wanted them there for the occasion because she was scheming something. Perhaps her marital issues had come to a point that she could not bare any longer? We can see that she is having feelings for Mr. Gatsby when she says "'You know I love you'" (Fitzgerald, 116).

I would just like to stop and ask... are they really complaining that it's hot? I wish they could experience this weather.

Later, Tom finds that his mistress is leaving with her husband to go out west. George had discovered that Myrtle was living a separate life. Simultaneously, Myrtle was staring out the window and saw Jordan Baker in the car and thought that she was Tom's wife. This entire situation is ridiculous to me.
