Nick is a young educated man who fought in world war 1, people are always telling him secrets.
"I’m inclined to reserve all judgments, a habit that has opened up many curious natures to me and also made me the victim of not a few veteran bores"
Daisy is a beautiful socialite and her husband cheats on her
"For a moment the last sunshine fell with romantic affection upon her glowing face;".
Tom is her husband and he cheats on her, he is strong, handsome, sexist, rascist, and a socialite as well
"he seemed to fill those glistening boots until he strained the top lacing, and could see a great pack of muscle shifting when his shoulder moved under his thin coat. It was a body capable of enormous leverage — a cruel body.. "
Jordan, is Daisy's friend and eased droped on the phone call between Tom and his mistress
'“Don’t talk. I want to hear what happens.”'
So far, I think the novel is intresting and I like the description the author uses however im confused as to wether he is Nick or not. I thought I remember talking in class about how the narrator was talking in first person but not actually that person. I like the writing style of the author and am not bothered by his description of other men. One symbol in the novel is light, or sun and it is usually related with Daisy. Another is water, and it is described around where Nick lives.
