Gatsby 3

The climax of The Great Gatsby is in chapter 7 when they all go to New York City. They go to the Plaza hotel and Tom senses that Daisy and Gatsby have a thing for each other. He confronts him about it and tells everyone that Gatsby runs a bootlegging business. Gatsby claims that him and Daisy are in love, but Daisy is not reciprocating the feelings. Gatsby's dream is dying and we realize that he will not end up with Daisy, but Gatsby does not give up. On the way back Daisy hits and kills Myrtle, and Gatsby takes the blame for it to show his love for her. The central conflict is resolved when Daisy does not show interest in Gatsby, showing us that everything he worked for is now gone.
