Gatsby and Daisy’s past go far back into the past. Gatsby first met Daisy in Louisville, her hometown, in nineteen seventeen when he was stationed there.

At the time many officers had fallen for Daisy because of her youthful grace and innocence. Gatsby first saw her when several men went to visit her home. After that visit their love affair began. “In various unrevealed capacities he had come in contact with such people, but always with indiscernible barbed wire between. He found her excitingly desirable” (Fitzgerald 148.) This quote shows Gatsby’s admiration for Daisy’s pure beauty. They were together for a month before Gatsby had to leave for the war. Their love was inexperienced and blind from actual responsibilities. It was especially different than what it could be in the present. Gatsby was controlled by the ideas of the past when it was almost impossible to achieve the same relationship they had. In the past they did not have to worry about anything. They had both done things now that they were not able to escape from.
