chapter, I had the feeling that nothing had happened in the previous ones. I was
puzzled twice:
- First, when I realised it was Gatsby's car that hit Myrtle
- and then, when we're told through Gatsby that Daisy was driving
the other chapters.
When I finished reading the novel, the first thing I thought about was obsessions.
Sometimes we get so obsessed with something or somebody that we can lose
everything, because we have no limits. We should be able to manage our feelings and
not to be so
easily blinded.
If I could ask the author a question I would ask him why did he chose not to engage
Nick in any kind of relationship? I expected the novel to end up with love in Nick's
life.
Interesting personal reflections!
