Gatsby&Daisy (Ch.5)
Almost FIVE YEARS. The reunion of Daisy was what Gatsby eagerly wanted. Before that, Gatsby was so timid to approach her although she lives close to his house. But they met each other again ,and between them, there was Nick. To connect them, there had to be Nick, but they didn't seem really care about him. The relationship between Gatsby and Daisy had seemed akward, but soon turned to bright. Their relationship was strong although they didn't say anything to each other about their ex-relationship. Gatsby's heart toward Daisy was shown through some descriptions of several sceneries in his house, "...Daisy admired this aspect or that of the feudal silhouette against the sky, admired the gardens, the sparkling odor of jonquils and the fronthy odor of hawthorn and plum blossoms and the pale gold odor of kiss-me-at-the-gate(p.90)." Well, this description might also mean the past relationship between the couple. Although Daisy had already married Tom, Gatsby still loved her. He also seemed that " he hadn't once ceased looking at Daisy..(p.91)." He also had collected clipings about Daisy, and seemed that "he was consumed with wonder at her presence. He had been full of the idea so long, dreamed it right through to the end..(p.92)." In the last part of this chapter, the two spent a sentimental time like their past time. They still loved each other.
