It is necessary for Fitzgerald to humanize Gatsby. Early in the novel, Gatsby is portrayed as wealthy, mysterious, and powerful. It is necessary for Gatsby to present the details of his initial love affair with Daisy to humanize him on the eyes of the reader and reveal his vulnerability to matters of love: an aspect of life that cannot be bought with money.

Whom does daisy really love in the great gatsby?

Use the end of chapter 6 (page 117 in my book)- There's Gatsby's story of when he kissed Daisy there. The fight between Tom and Gatsby in chapter 7 where Gatsby says that he loves Daisy would be good too. At the very end of chapter 7, Gatsby watches the Buchanan house until 4 o'clock to make sure Tom won't hurt her. "Out of the corner of his eye Gatsby saw that the blocks of sidewalk really formed a ladder and mounted to a secret place above the trees-he could climb to it, if he climbed alone, and once there he could suck on the pap of life, gulp down the incomparable milk of wonder." -p. 117 "His heart beat faster and faster as Daisy's white face came up to his own. He knew that when he kissed this girl, and forever wed his unutterable visions to her perishable breath, his mind would never romp again like the mind of God." -p. 117 in the other book it is p. 110-111
