When
Gatsby told me Daisy didn’t love me, I thought he was crazy. Then Gatsby said
that Daisy only ever loved him. At first, I just felt disbelief, but then Daisy
started to support him, and the feeling of ridicule and the disbelief faded.
Gatsby had to be lying, there was no possible way what he said was true. But Gatsby
said Daisy didn’t love me, and that she was leaving me. I believed him even
less then, but then Daisy supported him again. The poor girl was torn, and she didn’t
know what she was saying. So, I reminded her of the times we had together,
those special times where I knew she loved me just as I loved her. Daisy said
she did love me those times, but she also loved Gatsby. Now I was mad and worried,
mad because Gatsby came here only to take away the person I love most, and
worried because Daisy was slipping out of my fingers. Then I told them what
Gatsby really does to earn his money, why he is so rich even though he was
raised dirt poor, why he is not good enough for Daisy, and then Gatsby was mad
too. Mad enough that he yelled at me and tried to hurt me. Seeing Daisy’s face
after his outburst, I felt confident that I had won. I was on the verge of
laughing at the prospect of Gatsby’s whole plan coming to pieces to win my wife,
simply because he could not contain his anger. I even let Gatsby drive Daisy
home, just so that they would dislike each other more. I knew there was no
chance Daisy would run away with him now. The whole rest of the night I was
cheerful, because I knew everything was under my control again, and I had
nothing to fear.

ReplyDeleteYou were in denial old sport. Daisy had always loved me. The only reason she had ever married you is because she couldn't wait for me any longer. You see old sport, despite who I was Daisy still loved me. That's the difference between us. I worked hard to get where I was. You had everything handed to you. Even after everything you caused that day Daisy still loved me. In the end you have blood on your hands. It was your fault that I was killed. You may think you won but you never did. Even without me Daisy still loved me. She didn't want to leave me. She was just nervous you would hurt her. In the end through my loss I won. You may not have realized it but even though Daisy didn't show it she loved me more than ever.
ReplyDeleteThe better man,
Gatsby
I want you to know as one of Daisy’s oldest and closest friends I can say that I believe that there was a very small period of time where she loved you. I can say that when she married you she wasn’t in love with you and she almost ran away. Also once you started to cheat on Daisy it destroyed any chance of love that there was. I know and you deep down also know its true that Daisy doesn’t love you the way that she loves Gatsby.
