The Great Gatsby- Chapters 4 & 5

Chapter Four
Chapter four is based on Gatsby inviting Nick to lunch & talks about something that Jordan will tell him about. Nick invites Daisy to his house because he is asked to, along with Gatsby,Which reveals an old unknown past between the two.

In this chapter Fitzgerald switches from Nicks veiwpoint to Jordan Bakers point of veiw without much warning which seems unusual. Even though he does this i dont think the way in which he does this is confusing to the reader at all. He uses Jordan as the narater for a short while then switches back to nick.

It seems that during this chapter Gatsby is a little too friendly with Nick. He uses the words 'Old Sport' which seems very odd as nick tells us they have only spoken half a dozen times. It is soon shown later as the chpter progresses that he only invites him to lunch to inform him of the chat him and Jordan will have later. nearing the end it seems like nick and Jordan are more then just friends.

This scene is set outside nicks house early in the morning. the rest is set in a hotel.

chapter 5 is yet again shown through Nicks prospectus. we seen that gatsby and daisy are reunited after many years. once this happens it appears as if nick becomes slightly lonly as he stands alone in rain. The bad weather could connote a warning that something bad is to come of daisy and gatsby's relationship.

theres alot of decept and unhappiness in this chapter as far as themes are concerned.

the setting is just shown through the bad weather again as a possible warning as to something not being right or something bad is going to happen.
