Daisy and Gatsby

"In chapter 5, what is revealed about the characters of Gatsby and Daisy based upon their reactions to each other when they finally meet?”

In chapter 5, Daisy and Gatsby finally meet. This moment was long awaited by Gatsby. He had been planning it for years. He set up his life around meeting Daisy. Gatsby was extremely nervous before he met Daisy, which was a side of his character which I had not seen before. When he and Daisy were actually speaking and were near each other, he became more loving. Gatsby then seems to be completely in awe that this moment is finally happening. Gatsby’s attitude about life seemed to change a bit too. Daisy altered his perception of things. Gatsby also slipped up about his past which revealed he didn’t only inherit all of his money. We also learn that the Green Light represents Gatsby’s search for love with Daisy. Daisy seems fairly the same but is a bit more emotional than she has been in the past. I feel like Daisy was able to forget about her current life with Tom while with Gatsby. 

Essentially, Gatsby and Daisy’s true feelings are revealed about each other. Gatsby also doesn’t turn out the be the very laid-back wealthy man easy life. He is actually more awkward and has devoted a bit of his life in search of that objectified American dream of a woman.
