great gatsby question, chapter 5?
how does daisy begin to fail gatsby as a “dream girl”?
Why do you think she does? In my view, she does not–in fact, she cannot. Even after she turns him down in Chapter VII at the Plaza Hotel when she refuses to leave Tom, Gatsby remains true to his vision of her as the ideal. When Daisy confesses that she loved Tom, Gatsby’s explanation is that it was “just personal.” That means that his conception of love is so large that it goes beyond the mere love of one person for another person.
It is hard to know what such a love would be like. Even Nick Carraway, with his sympathy for Gatsby, cannot reach that level of understanding. “What could you make of that?” he asks.
“Of course she might have loved him just for a minute, when they were first married—and loved me more even then, do you see?”
Suddenly he came out with a curious remark.
“In any case,” he said, “it was just personal.”
What could you make of that, except to suspect some intensity in his conception of the affair that couldn’t be measured?
