•
(pg 130) How does Gatsby describe his relationship with Daisy? What does he want Daisy to
declare to Tom?

money? How would this be seen by “proper” society?

react to the news about Myrtle?
Daisy
•
(pg 117) How might Daisy’s daughter Pammy complicate Gatsby’s plans? How does Pammy
seem to fit into her society? How is that different from children we’ve seen like Pearl and Huck?
•
(pg 120) What does Nick realize about Daisy’s voice? What does this show about her status?
What might this do to her relationship with Gatsby?
•
(pg 132) When Gatsby demands Daisy speak up, how does she react? What does she do? What
can’t she do?

(pg 144 – 145) Why is there a “natural intimacy” between Daisy and Tom? Though they are a
Mismatched Pair, in what ways do they make sense together?
Tom
•
(pg 119) What does Tom realize about Daisy and Gatsby? How does he react?

(pg 121) Why would Tom want to drive Daisy in Gatsby’s “circus wagon”? How would old
money people feel about riding in an outlandish car?

feelings for Gatsby? How does he excuse his own actions?
•
(pg 140 – 141) How does Tom act toward others at the garage after the accident? How is his
behavior/emotion different from Wilsons? What might this say about the difference between
them and their relationships?
Wilson & Myrtle
•
(pg 123 – 124) What has Wilson learned? How is he feeling as a result? Why is his reaction so
much stronger than Tom‘s to the same issue?
•
What is his plan for how to fix the situation? With that, what does he still believe in? If he’s
holding onto beliefs of the past, what literary archetype is he?
•
(pg 137) What happened to Myrtle? Why did she run into the street?
•
(pg 139 – 140) What color was the car? What is it implied that Wilson realizes? Why does Tom
have to defend himself that he just got there?
Nick
•
(pg 129 – 130) When Tom first starts confronting Gatsby, whose side is Nick on? Why? What
might he believe in?
•
(pg 135 – 136) When he realizes it’s his birthday, how does Nick feel about time, society, the
people around him?
•
What do they drive their car over? If Nick is crossing water instead of traveling on it, what
does that say about his journey of development?
•
(pg 142 – 143) Why won’t Nick go into the Buchanan’s house? What does he suspect about
Gatsby lurking in the night? How is Nick feeling about everyone, about society and values?
