"The Great Gatsby" is set in the summer of 1922 in Long Island, New York.
The fight between Gatsby and Buchanan took place at the Plaza Hotel in New York City in "The Great Gatsby". It was a tense and pivotal moment in the novel where simmering tensions between the characters boiled over.
An ironic situation that occurs on the drive to town in The Great Gatsby is when Tom Buchanan and Gatsby stop at Wilson's garage where they see Myrtle Wilson. Tom tries to divert attention by buying Wilson a dog, which ultimately leads to Myrtle's death as Daisy ends up hitting her with Gatsby's car while driving back from the city. This situation is ironic because Tom's attempt to distract Wilson inadvertently sets off a chain of events that results in tragedy for Myrtle.
