gatsby is in love with daisy.
He no longer hosts parties after he finds out Daisy did not enjoy the one she attended.
Gatsby in further readings you will learn that he doesnt enjoy the idea of parties at all, infact he is only having them in a hope that Daisy will come to it.
His house is changed in Chapter eight because he doesn't have anymore parties. This is because he is depressed about not being able to "have" Daisy. Also, She did not necessarily enjoy the parties so he thought that if he did not have the parties any more she might come to his house again. Although she did not.
Gatsby is new money, so his tastes are trying to show off that he is rich. He has a huge mansion, thinks huge lavish parties are fun, and shows off his possessions. The old rich, on the other hand, look down on the new rich. They are more self confident in their wealth, for example, Tom and Daisy's mansion is pushed back and not visible from the road. Daisy does not accept Gatsby because he was not born into the money, and she does not enjoy his parties (she would rather go to tea parties). Gatsby can't fit in with the old rich because he doesn't belong- he is still poor at heart, and the old rich reject him.
Daisy is initially charmed by Gatsby's wealth and lavish lifestyle, but later becomes conflicted and overwhelmed by her feelings for him. She is torn between her love for Gatsby and her loyalty to her husband, Tom Buchanan, ultimately leading to a tragic outcome. Daisy struggles with her emotions and vacillates between desire and guilt in her interactions with Gatsby.
Many wealthy and extravagant guests attend Gatsby's wild parties at his mansion every weekend in F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel "The Great Gatsby." They come to socialize, drink, and enjoy themselves, adding to the atmosphere of excess and opulence that Gatsby creates as he tries to win back Daisy's love.
Gatsby's parties attract a mix of people from different social classes, including wealthy socialites, celebrities, and lower-class individuals looking to enjoy a lavish lifestyle. The allure of Gatsby's opulent parties brings together a diverse crowd seeking entertainment, decadence, and opportunities for social connections.
He has not vet used it and does not want to lose hope.j When I thought about it, i viewed it slightly differently. The way I saw it, Gatsby was finally accepting that he and Daisy would never be together. The pool was a metaphor for Gatsby's life. The year was coming to an end, and the Gardener was about to close the pool (A.K.A, Gatsby is about to die). Gatsby stops the Gardener because he has never used his pool and he wants to enjoy it for the first time. (A.K.A, up to this point, Gatsby has spent his entire life chasing after Daisy, and he's never once actually sat down and enjoyed life. He wants to enjoy his life at least once before he dies.)
Tom and Daisy have what's called OLD MONEY. They did not earn any of it. This came from their family. Jay Gatsby is different. He made his money, not in the best way of course. Jay's money is called NEW MONEY.
Daisy wants to visit the town primarily to distract herself from her problems and to enjoy the social scene, as well as to see what new material possessions she can accumulate. Additionally, the town offers her a temporary escape from her unsatisfactory marriage and the strained relationships in her life.
I presume that this is regarding the second party, when Tom and Daisy attended. In the first party he was no more awkward than normal and appeared to enjoy himself. In the second party, however, it is important to remember that Daisy is now having an affair with Gatsby, and has invited her husband to a party given by Gatsby, as such, this is a difficult situation and because Nick knows this, and feel self conscious, the evening is understandably awkward.
Gatsby and Fitzgerald both met vital women to their lives at dances, and both while they were stationed at camps in the army. Gatsby met Daisy at Camp Taylor in Illinois, where they danced and fell in love. However, after Gatsby went off to war, they never got back together again. Fitzgerald met his wife, Zelda, at Camp Sheridan in Alabama. Instead of going off to war (his regiment was ready to go to Europe, but the Armistace came before they could leave the States), he went to New York to get enough money to marry Zelda. In the movie version, Daisy tells Gatsby that "Rich girls don't marry poor boys." This line was taken straight out of Fitzgerald's life. The father of his first love, a young woman by the name of Ginevra King, supposedly told him that after Fitzgerald asked for Ginevra's hand in marriage. There are many other similarities between F. Scott Fitzgerald and Jay Gatz (Gatsby)- keep your eyes out for them!
