Gatsby's parents are not mentioned in F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel "The Great Gatsby." When Gatsby leaves home at 16, he is leaving behind his family's perceived lower social class and his humbler upbringing. This departure marks the start of his journey to reinvent himself and create a new persona as Jay Gatsby.
Gatsby and Daisy meet again at Nick's house for tea when Gatsby arranges the meeting. This occurs in Chapter 5 of "The Great Gatsby."
The irony in Jay Gatsby's ancestral home, which is described as a "colossal affair," is that it reflects his attempt to create an illusion of wealth and aristocracy. In reality, Gatsby comes from a humble background and gained his riches through illicit means. The grandeur of his home symbolizes the facade he presents to the world.
After Gatsby's death in "The Great Gatsby," Nick Carraway drives Gatsby's car back to Long Island accompanied by Gatsby's father. Tom Buchanan and Daisy Buchanan take a separate car back home. Daisy is driving Gatsby's death car with Tom and Nick in it, while Gatsby's father follows in a separate car.
Gatsby and Daisy disappear to explore Gatsby's mansion during the party, escaping the crowd for a private moment together. They are able to retreat to the quiet seclusion of Gatsby's home and reconnect in a more intimate setting away from the social gathering.
Gatsby's father was a poor farmer who owned a grocery store and arranged for his son to attend St. Olaf's College. When Gatsby leaves home at 16, he is leaving behind his parents and their modest way of life to seek his fortune and pursue a life of wealth and luxury.
Gatsby died towards the end of the novel. Wilson shot him and then killed himself at Gatsby's home. He blamed Gatsby for hitting Myrtle with his car and killing her; when in reality it was Daisy driving.
