Discussion Question 4/19/13

Is Gatsby crazy?

I do think that Gatsby is crazy. To me, crazy is defined as doing illogical things that affect your life. He has spent the past 5 years doing everything in order to get a second chance with Daisy. He bought a big house near her and throws giant parties in order to have her somehow show up. All he wants is to be with her, and nothing else in his life matters. He has allowed his love for her to consume everything in his life. To me, this is a problem, and a sign of craziness.

On a separate note, Gatsby owns a yellow-colored car. Daisies are yellow. Therefore, he bought a daisy-colored car.
