The Great Gatsby Chapter Six

So, we've met Gatsby. Jay Gatsby to be precise. We know his darkest secret about love. Simply put, he fell in love with Daisy Fay only to have her marry a rich man from New Orleans, Mr. Tom Buchanan.  Her love has haunted him for five years and now he wants to reclaim what he feels is rightly his.  What do you think? Does he deserve to try and reclaim the beautiful Daisy (Fay) Buchanan?


We also learn in chapter six that Gatsby himself is an illusion contributing to the theme of the authentic vs. the facade. We have watched the film and while mostly on target a few things were left out--you know how that goes novels have all the time in the world to explain something, but alas movies are required to fit it all in a specific amount of time.
