Gatsby 4

Jay Gatsby the main character and the Protagonist of The Great Gatsby changes a lot over the book. The changes to him are caused by the people around him and the conflicts related between each other. Gatsby who is hopeful at the beginning of the story wishes to repeat something that happened 5 years ago. To do this he must get back together with Daisy, who is his lover, but Daisy married another man. She wants to run away with him and be free, but Gatsby wants her to tell her husband that she doesn't and has never loved him. Doing this he asks too much of her, which ends up ruining their relationship. "I wouldn't' ask too much of her," I ventured. "You can't repeat the past." This is Nick telling Gatsby that he is asking too much of her and that things can't be exactly th same as they were 5 years ago. Gatsby starts to become impatient with Daisy, but still continues to believe that she will leave Tom and things will be exactly the same again. This does not happen and Gatsby actions lead to him being killed.
