Anxiety (Pages 73-84)

It seems as though F. Scott Fitzgerald has finally decided to release the caged Gatsby character in this passage of The Great Gatsby. I have been waiting to figure out this Gatsby guy for the majority of the book, and now it everything is coming together. I wonder if the fallout with Daisy is the even that Gatsby referred to as very sad in the previous chapters. The development of this plot has been very weird in my opinion. The way that some things are told from the retrospect throws me off. Plus the way that other people have commentary throughout telling stories has made me reread a couple of times. I do like the way that this leaves the future action of the book as a toss up though. I really have no idea whatsoever what is going to happen next. I really hope that some sort of scandal occurs and these characters that are secretly in love will end up together. Maybe Tom will be able to get with his girl that he truly appears to love. I like that idea because it frees up Daisy to relieve Gatsby of all anxiety and it means that Tom will be happy with his girl for once. I found the story about Daisy getting married depressing because of the fact that she really did not want to get married but just did it anyways. Was the letter she held to so dearly from Gatsby? I am making the assumption that it was from Gatsby. I hope this meeting of Daisy and Gatsby ends well. The description of Gatsby before the meeting just added to the excitement when they described him as, "Pale, and there were dark signs of sleeplessness beneath his eyes"(Page 84). I hope Gatsby can catch Daisy off guard and make her fall for him all over again.
