He loved her huge beautiful house and the fact that many men had loved her before him. Gatsby's narrative begins with the description of Daisy as the first wealthy, upper-class girl Gatsby had ever met.
But Gatsby is unwilling to leave his lingering hopes for Daisy. Instead, Gatsby tells Nick about his background - the information Nick told us in Chapter 6. Nick advises Gatsby to lay low somewhere else so that his car isn’t found and linked to the accident. It’s also poorly kept - dusty, unaired, and unusually dark. When he meets up with Gatsby at dawn, Gatsby tells Nick nothing happened outside Daisy’s house all night. Gatsby’s house feels strangely enormous. He feels like he needs to warn Gatsby about something. To find a quotation we cite via chapter and paragraph in your book, you can either eyeball it (Paragraph 1-50: beginning of chapter 50-100: middle of chapter 100-on: end of chapter), or use the search function if you're using an online or eReader version of the text. We're using this system since there are many editions of Gatsby, so using page numbers would only work for students with our copy of the book. Our citation format in this guide is (chapter.paragraph). Get ready for bittersweetness and gory shock, in this The Great Gatsby Chapter 8 summary.
The other half of the chapter is all police thriller, as we hear Michaelis describe Wilson coming unglued and deciding to take bloody revenge for Myrtle’s death. There’s an elegiac tone to half of the story in Chapter 8, as Nick tells us about Gatsby giving up on his dreams of Daisy and reminiscing about his time with her five years before. In Great Gatsby Chapter 8, things go from very bad to much, much worse.
