Is the climax the hotel scene when Tom and Gatsby argue, or is it when Gatsby meets Daisy at Nick's house? What central conflict or conflicts are being addressed in the climax, and how is this the turning point of the narrative (story)? Use textual evidence to back up your claims. The climax of the Great Gatsby varies between reader to reader. I think the climax of the story is the scene when all of the main characters of the book are at the hotel and Tom and Gatsby argue. This is the climax because it is the most heated part of the book and everyone comes together in this scene. This scene also foreshadows that Daisy will have to make a choice between Gatsby or Tom and that Gatsby's ultimate dream has not happened as he would have liked. Daisy said that she would still has or had some feelings for Tom, which was not what Gatsby wanted.  "I did love him once--but I loved you too." Gatsby wanted her to proclaim her love for solely him and revoke all proclamati

The climax of the Great Gatsby is when Gatsby is shot. This is the climax because it is at this moment we are able to determine the resolution as Daisy stays with Tom. "... she and Tom had gone away early that afternoon, and taken baggage with them." The central conflict of the story of Gatsby's quest for Daisy is now over once he is shot since their is no longer a decision to be made by her. It could be debated whether or not the climax is before this event, but this conflict remains open ended without a clear resolution until Gatsby is shot. This is the climax of the story as the central conflict comes to an end shortly after he is shot, mentioned above with Daisy disappearing with Tom, and everything else comes to a close with Gatsby's funeral. It seems that the climax of The Great Gatsby has been disputed and has been subject to debates from between who reads the book. This is what I believe the climax is in this story and would like to know your thou

In chapter 5, when Daisy and Gatsby meet, how is weather used to create mood, and what mood(s) is created? When Daisy and Gatsby first meet it is raining and with this weather Gatsby is classically nervous and depressed waiting for Daisy. When Daisy arrives and they go inside and begin talking and reminiscing, the sun came out. This reflected how they were feeling happy since they missed each other. The weather amplified these moods, as the moods that the characters felt are classically the same moods that occur when that kind of weather occurs. For instance rain occurs when people feel sad, or depressed. This was exactly how Gatsby was feeling when it was raining. The clearing of the rain and sunshine showed that the previous feelings were going away and that happiness would come. This kind of correlation between weather and mood may seem cliched now, but I wonder if it was as overused then as it now.

In chapter 2 we are introduced to "the valley of ashes," a place between the Eggs and New York City. "The eyes of Dr. T.J. Eckleburg" watches over this desolate place. What are the eyes of Dr. T.J. Eckleberg and what do you think that these eyes and the valley of ashes represent? Use textual evidence to support your position. "... stir up an impenetrable cloud, which screens their obscure operations from your sight. But above the gray land and the spasms of bleak dust which drift endlessly over it, you perceive, after a moment, the eyes of Doctor T. J. Eckleburg."  The eyes that are mentioned in chapter two, symbolize that there are always someone looking or watching at you and your actions despite the black smog that you believe hides and protects you. The people in the valley believe that they're wrongdoings and shady actions are hidden, this can be seen as Tom has his mistress, Myrtle, in this valley and goes on with his life as if no one c
