GATSBY CHAPTER 9 NOTES AND THOUGHTS!

Resolution...

  • George Wilson was called a Mad Man because he killed someone (yet he was going through all the pain and suffering) 
  • Daisy and Tom had left with a baggage and left nothing for Nick to trace them 
  • No one answered back or even showed care for the fact that Gatsby was dead 
  • Gatsby's father comes from a long way after seeing that his son was dead (noticed in the newspaper) 
  • Both Gatsby's father and Meyer Wolfshiem consider the pattern of "Mad Man" 
  • Meyer Wolfshiem mentions that he "made" Gatsby, he transformed him from rags to riches 
  • Nick is at the funeral and he's reflecting on his life because of the atmosphere and emotions
  • Gatsby's schedule*
  • D not even a word
  • "After Gatsby's death the East was haunted for me like that, distorted beyond my eyes' power of correction..."-
  • JB= engaged 
  • "Angry, and half in love with her, and tremendously sorry, I turned away"-NC 
  • TB  saw NC (tension of releasing the truth)
  • "There was nothing I could say, except the one unutterable fact that it wasn't true-NC  
  • "They were careless people, Tom and Daisy-they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.."-NC
  • G finally sees the green light but no he never gets it
  • The more we tr to change the past the more negative it will become-"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past"-NC
This chapter all the true emotions come out. Nick realizes the depths the secrets had made him go through.
