Plot

"What kind of a row are you trying to cause in my house anyhow?" (pg 129)

Throughout the novel The Great Gatsby, there really isn't a single moment that i would consider the climax or main point of action in the story. Essential, the plot of this novel was the devotion Jay Gatsby had for the love of his life, Daisy. The dilemma in this story lies in the fact that when Gatsby returns from the service he has not been in contact with Daisy for several years. This novel recounts the way in which Gatsby finds Daisy and attempts to make a new life with her. I think this story has a good plot, however, I did not feel that there was much action within the story. In fact, most of the action that takes place occurs in the last few chapters. In chapter 7 Tom finally confronts Gatsby about the affair he suspects that he is having with Daisy. I felt that this was extremely hypocritical because Tom was having an affair himself. This scene ion which Gatsby and Tom argue over Daisy's love is ultimately what drives the rest of the novel. Due to this fight, Daisy leaves the city all shook up and therefore she runs the car into Myrtle Wilson. In turn, Myrtle's husband seeks revenge by shooting Jay Gatsby. I did not like the plot of the story because it contained little action. It was centered around broken relationships and what happens in those types of situations.
