Upset (145-156)

The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald has developed this character called Gatsby in an interesting but also confusing way. I found it interesting because of the mysterious aroma that ensued the entrance of Gatsby into the plot. I found it confusing because of the many side stories that were contained in the revelation of the story line of Gatsby's life and all that he has done. This ending is looking to be one that I will not enjoy for the reason that I like it when despite what wrong might occur, the right people end up together. As of now, I do not see Gatsby ending up with Daisy. The saddest part of my thinking is that I figure Daisy might end up in jail leaving Gatsby heart broken in the world forever. I do not think that anyone is going to believe the story that Gatsby was driving the car that struck Mrs. Wilson. Mr. Wilson seems so torn that the possibility of him going after Mr. Buchanan seems very real and alive. I would not mind at all if Mr. Buchanan got what was coming to him. He has done so much wrong and ruined his own marital relationship and then prevented the relationship from occurring between Daisy and Gatsby. The continuous flashbacks that Gatsby describes do not draw me into believing that he belongs with Daisy. On the contrary, I believe that the way he forced her to feel secure and confident in him when he clearly had neither was the wrong thing to do. The fact that he admits, "He(Gatsby) had deliberately given Daisy a sense of security...he had no such facilities"(Page 149), really bothers me because I had hoped all along that he had done the right thing from the start ergo rightfully earning her unshakable love. I was entirely wrong.
