Gatsby ch. 8 (Part I)

As The Great Gatsby draws to a close, some events still need to play out. Most importantly, what will become of Gatsby and Daisy? Gatsby reminisces his past with Daisy. He explains that his time at Oxford is what led Daisy to marry Tom. This does verify somethings that Gatsby had said, so now I do believe his stories about Dan Cody. His plan involving Detroit still needs to be explained though. Also, the source of his money needs to be revealed.

I believe Fitzgerald had just hinted at a future tragic even in saying, "I've always been glad I said that. it was the only compliment I ever gave him, because I disapproved of him from beginning to end (154)." Honestly, I think this means Gatsby is about to die. The only question is how or who kills him. Maybe Tom kills him in order to eliminate his competition at winning Daisy back. The sad part is that Nick is the only person that comes to comfort Gatsby in his tragic situation, yet Nick admits to disapproving of Gatsby. I get the feeling another big event is about to happen.
