In this chapter much of what was obvious was now becoming realized. Tom's suspicions of Gatsby and Daisy is now in the open and he won't let that slide. He plans to confront him and when he eventually does confront him it is extremely clear that Tom is the victor in the end. When Gatsby leaves with Daisy back to the Eggs an unfortunate event had occurred. Myrtle Wilson was run over but killed by someone unexpected. Myrtle was killed by the one and only Daisy Buchanan. By the end of the chapter we discover that Gatsby will take the blame for the event that had unfolded.
Jordan Baker
"Those big movies around Fiftieth Street are cool. I love New York on summer afternoons when everyones away. There's something very sensuous about it- overripe as if all sorts of funny fruits were going to fall into your hands."
Jordan Baker is a woman who doesn't need a man to support her. As a professional golf player she has all the money she needs to be who she wants to be. When it comes to her personality she can be very forward and isn't afraid to insult someone and another persons feelings are unimportant.
" 'Was Daisy driving?' 'Yes', he said after a moment, 'but of course I'll say I was.' "
This quote really shows the real side of Gatsby. Not the sugar covered Gatsby that had been shown since chapter one. He is going to take the blame for a crime that he did not commit. This shows how Gatsby has changed since the last four to five chapters and how his love for Daisy is not infatuation but true. Even if he is still living in the past.
