Spoiler alert:
The novel follows Jay Gatsby, a wealthy man who throws lavish parties in hopes that his former lover, Daisy Buchanan, will come. Daisy had once loved Gatsby, but after losing contact with him during the war, she married Tom Buchanan. After five years, Gatsby reconnects with Daisy when Nick Carraway, their mutual friend and neighbor, invites her to tea at Gatsby’s request. Gatsby and Daisy resume their romance, though Daisy is unwilling to leave Tom completely. At the Plaza Hotel in New York, Tom and Gatsby argue bitterly, with Gatsby demanding that Daisy declare she never loved Tom. Daisy hesitates, and the confrontation ends in tension. On the drive back, Daisy—driving Gatsby’s car—accidentally strikes and kills Myrtle Wilson. Gatsby decides to take the blame. Shortly after, George Wilson, convinced Gatsby was responsible, shoots Gatsby while he is floating in his pool, and then kills himself. Daisy does not reach out or attend Gatsby’s funeral, leaving Nick to reflect on the emptiness behind wealth and the American Dream.
