It's Love!

     I feel like chapter five is a pivotal chapter in The Great Gatsby because I am finally able to see Gatsby for who he really is.  He does not have to put up walls and try to be someone that he isn't.  I am finally able to see a more genuine side to him.  I come across the word "embarrassed" quite often during the meeting between Gatsby and Daisy.  When Gatsby freaks out and goes to talk to Nick, Nick just tells him that Daisy is embarrassed "just as much as you are" (Fitzgerald, 87).  This embarrassment that has come across Gatsby really helps me see another more softer side to him.  F. Scott Fitzgerald reveals his character the most at this time.  He is not hiding anymore or trying to live up to anyones expectations.  Daisy has brought back to light his old self.  I really hope that they end up together.  I like Gatsby a lot and wish him the best.  He has been searching for Daisy to come back into his life for so long, and I feel like it is time for him to finally be content and happy with his life and himself.
