The Great Gatsby: 92-97

In these pages of The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, I began to see the love connection of Daisy and Gatsby begin to transform. "It was the hour of a profound human change," (Fitzgerald, pg95). This quote grasped the emotion in the air of the change from embarassment and longing to recollection and reunion. I believe Daisy and Gatsby wanted Nick to remain in the house with them for multiple reasons. To be a mediator and a supporter of the two long lost lovers. 


This book is just full of quotes that hold deep meanings. I found another one on page 96. "No amount of fire or freshness can challenge what a man will store up in his ghostly heart." This quote holds so much truth though. If a man or a woman truly loves someone, nothing new or challenging can possibly change what they feel deep within their heart. An example of this would be in Dear John written by Nicholas Sparks. After John comes home from the war to find Savannah, the love of his life, married to another man, he can never come to find love as deep in any other person. We witness this emotional bond in almost every other romance movie or book.
