Chapter 7
The suspicion about Mr. Gatsby and Daisy has finally gotten to Tom. At his house he hosted a lunch for Jordan, Nick and Mr. Gatsby, it soon began to get awkward and boring for Daisy so she asked Mr. Gastby to take her into the city. By then Tom realizes their feeling for each other and decides to get everyone ready so they all can go together. While they are in the city Nick, Tom and Jordan stop for gas at Mr. Wilson garage. He has found out about his wife Myrtle's affair, but hasn't found out about her lover's identity. So he plans to move her out to the west. At this point Tom and Mr. Wilson are in the same position. Back in New York City everyone is all together and Tom and Mr. Gatsby have a confrontation about Daisy. She admits that she loves them both which shocked both Tom and Mr. Gatsby. In the heat of the argument Tom sends Gastby and Daisy back to Long Island to show Gatsby that he can't hurt him. When everyone gets back Daisy and Tom talk the situation out and they are back to basics in their relationship. But unfortunately Gatsby's dream is shattered.

The ultimate irony is that while Gatsby's "dream is shattered," he doesn't realize this. He maintains his idealistic vision till the end, I think. It's Nick who has the realization--and hence the disillusionment.
