Gatsby (Notes): Pages 11-26


  • Daisy Buchanan- is never in the moment
    • She is totally self adsorbed
  •   "Miss" Jordan Baker- mysterious/ vague
  • Tom Buchanan (Daisy's husband)- unfaithful, wealthy
    • Ignorant?
  • Tension at dinner- the phone keeps on ringing and the person who's calling is Tom's mistress
  • "I hope that she'll be a fool- that's the best thing a girl can be in the world, a beautiful little fool..."- Daisy (17)
  • “Possibly it had occurred to him that the colossal significance of that light had now vanished forever…His count of enchanted objects had diminished by one."- Nick
  • Mr. Gatsby- reacting to a green light outside of his mansion
    • Nick sees the green light as an exclusive and powerful object that has great symbolic meaning to Gatsby
