The Great Gatsby's Love For Daisy

The sixth chapter explores the love that Gatsby has for Daisy. It is unfortunate that the foundation of the deep passion is set on only one summer hype from which Gatsby has based his life goals (Fitzgerald, n.a). Langston Hughes in his poem A Dream Deferred explores what happens when a dream is put off for a long time; Gatsby’s Love for Daisy. It is curious to explore the fact that Gatsby expects Daisy to forego her life for him after being apart for five years. The chapter closes with Nick pondering over the course of Gatsby’s dream of being with Daisy and how that cannot be recreated from the past (Fitzgerald, n.a).

The Weary Blues by Langston Hughes offer a clear insight into the affair of Gatsby and Daisy described in chapter seven. Despite

the obvious passion that the two have, after a confrontation between Tom and Gatsby, Daisy decides that Tom has bested Gatsby all along (Fitzgerald, n.a). The Weary Blues create a sorrowful attitude as the ‘…piano mourned…’ describing the act as painful. It is, therefore, clear that the connection between Daisy and Gatsby is fading as the song and the singer wear into the night and finally retire to bed. The song remains in his mind, however, just like the echoes of love in Gatsby’s heart and mind.
Richard Cory is the depiction of Gatsby in the novel, Edwin Arlington in his poem fascinates the audience with the perks that everyone saw about Richard Cory. However, no one knew what was on his mind since they concentrated with the wealth they saw about him (Fitzgerald, n.a). Similarly, chapter eight ends with the death of Gatsby, which leaves Nick left thinking of the possibly confused thoughts that crossed his mind when as he died.
To conclude the ninth chapter, Nothing Gold Can Stay by Robert Frost gives the touch of distance that embraces the story of Gatsby. His funeral is attended by a handful of people most refusing to attend and claiming false appointments; their acquaintance to Gatsby could not “stay” and therefore at the end Gatsby is alone. His love for Daisy could not also stay, and Nick claims that Tom and Daisy are not anchored in the decency of the East and, therefore, belong to the West (Fitzgerald, n.a).
