he is not as empty or careless as tom and daisy
Nick Carraway thinks that Gatsby is better than Daisy and Tom because he sees Gatsby as someone who is driven by a deep sense of hope and idealism, while also displaying a genuine capacity for love and devotion. In contrast, Nick views Daisy and Tom as self-absorbed and careless individuals who lack integrity and moral character. Additionally, Nick admires Gatsby's ability to dream and aspire to a better future, despite his flaws and questionable methods.
Nick Carraway is the narrarator of The Great Gatsby. He is Daisy's second cousin and she knew Daisy's husband, Tom, in college. He also befriends Gatsby. Nick was taught very early on not to judge people and throughout the story he mostly succeeds, although he does seem to be on the fence a lot. He's not usually sure what to think about the other characters.
Gatsby really disapproves of their relationship. He wants Daisy all to himself
In "The Great Gatsby," the green light symbolizes Gatsby's hopes and dreams. It represents his desire for a future with Daisy Buchanan and his pursuit of the American Dream. The green light is located at the end of Daisy's dock, physically distant but symbolically within reach for Gatsby.
The quote "I didn't want you to think I was just some nobody" was said by Jay Gatsby to Tom Buchanan. Gatsby said this because he wanted to prove his worth to Daisy and show that he was worthy of her love, despite his humble background. This quote is significant because it highlights Gatsby's desire to transcend his past and societal limitations to win Daisy's affection.
Gatsby believes that winning Daisy's love will fulfill his dreams and bring him happiness, success, and a sense of completion. He sees Daisy as the key to achieving his idealized vision of a perfect life.
Nick gave Daisy and Gatsby thirty minutes to meet. When he returns Daisy's face is tear stained and Jay Gatsby is glowing happily.
Daisy thought Gatsby's house was extravagant and opulent, reflecting his wealth and success. She was impressed by the luxuriousness of the mansion but also sensed an emptiness in the glamorous facade. Daisy was seduced by the material wealth, yet ultimately felt disillusioned by the superficiality of Gatsby's lifestyle.
Nick believes that Gatsby's love for Daisy is a mix of both realism and illusion. He sees Gatsby's genuine feelings for Daisy, but also recognizes the idealized and unrealistic image that Gatsby has built up in his mind. Ultimately, Nick views their relationship as a combination of true love and romantic illusion.
In my opinion, the green light has several meanings: 1) it is the symbol of hope that one day Daisy will see the green light and wonder who lives on the other side of the river and will discover the great mansion of Gatsby. 2) I think that Fitzgerald wanted a green light instead of a yellow or red light because a green light implies a moving forward and a future. Gatsby wanted nothing more then to let Daisy see that he was the right man all along and that now, when he is even more wealthy then Daisy, he is here future. Her green light.
Gatsby delivers goods to Nick's house to show his appreciation for Nick's role in reuniting him with Daisy and to impress Daisy with his wealth and generosity. Gatsby believes that by indirectly displaying his wealth through such acts, he can make himself more appealing to Daisy and win her back.
She feels as if she is too good for everyone at the party, so she is very temted to leave, but she doesnt want to leave Gatsby, because she likes him.
Gatsby believes that Daisy is trapped in an unhappy marriage with Tom and that she only truly loves him (Gatsby). He sees Tom as a careless and insensitive husband who takes Daisy for granted. Gatsby is convinced that Daisy will leave Tom for him once she realizes that their love is true and profound.
