Gatsby's desire for Daisy ultimately leads to his death.

Gatsby Dream

Although Gatsby acquired all the money he needed, he never reached his goal in having Daisy as his own. Gatsby dedicates his life to achieving what he believed is possible, a romantic dream of reuniting with Daisy and repeating their past.

Gatsby pretty much only cared and about his dreams and because of it his life was really lonely and not fun at all.He did get close with Daisy but because he did he had his life taken away from him. He was murdered because Daisy was too conceded to admit to her mistake of hitting Wilson's wife Myrtle(9), Gatsby paid for her mistakes.

Jay Gatsby lived in a dream world and died dreaming he could have daisy Buchanan, but in reality, Daisy would never have belonged to Gatsby.

Gatsby displays an intense desire to be the sole recipient of Daisy’s love. Not only does he ask Daisy to leave Tom, he also insists that she admits to never having loved him at all. In a broader sense, life’s complexities and nuances are largely lost on Gatsby(5), whose single-minded fixation on his material and romantic goals is the product of a life otherwise devoid of meaning and connection. At his core, Gatsby leads an empty existence, reliant on external factors for his happiness and fulfillment. For him, satisfaction is not gleaned from the acquisition of his goals, but rather from the endless pursuit of them.

Relationship

Daisy and Gatsby’s relationship evolves through the interactions and dialogue with each other. Their interactions suggest the deep love they still have and the yearning they both possess for each other. Daisy and Gatsby’s endless love started over five years ago and tragically came to an abrupt halt when Gatsby did not return in time from the war, and in the meantime Daisy was swept off her feet by Tom Buchanan and the expensive pearls he offered her.

When Gatsby returned from the war, he purposely bought the mansion across the lake from Daisy’s and every day looked out to see the green light at the end of her dock and used that as symbolism to represent his hopes and dreams for the future and saw it as a “guiding light” towards Daisy. It seems that Daisy had moved on from their love affair and moved forward with her life proving that, “you can’t live the same love twice.”

Daisy did not care as much about her image or wealth, she and Gatsby would have most likely rekindled their relationship immediately after he come home from the war. Daisy married Tom and has a daughter , Daisy herself stated when her daughter was born, “I’m glad it’s a girl. And I hope she’ll be a fool – that’s the best thing a girl can be in this world(4). Gatsby did not give up on Daisy even he know that she is married , he keep dreaming about reuniting with Daisy , and get back to his past relationship .

Jay Gatsby, a racketeer and romantic idealist, completely denies the reality of the present and continues to live in the past. He devotes his entire life to amassing the wealth he thinks will win Daisy and make his dream come true.Gatsby had a love obsession with Daisy. He was willing to do anything just to win Daisy's affection. But for Daisy, it was only a love affair in the past which doesn't longer exist. Gatsby had fallen into the illusion, which led to his tragic death.

Death

Gatsby allowed Daisy to drive his car on the way back to East Egg, passing Wilson's gas station. After having an argument with her husband ,She dangerously runs out onto the road, Myrtle gets hit by car .This leads to the ultimate death of Myrtle Wilson .Daisy is most responsible for Gatsby's death because she was driving Gatsby's car, she killed Myrtle.

Myrtle death resulted in Wilson going after the driver of Gatsby's car,unknowing that the driver of the incident was really Daisy ,George Wilson who shoots the bullet that kills Jay Gatsby.It is Tom who leads Wilson to believe that Gatsby's car hit his wife..Tom is responsible for Gatsby's death as much as Daisy.He is most to blame because he finds out that Gatsby loves Daisy. This makes Tom mad. Even though it was Daisy that hit Myrtle with his car, Tom blames Gatsby because Gatsby made Tom lose both of his lovers in a short time. Tom does this out of rage. He never liked Gatsby to begin with. The accident gave him a perfect opportunity to take out Gatsby. Ever since he met Gatsby he was trying to figure out the truth. Tom knew something was going on with daisy and Gatsby. He’s the one that told Wilson that it was Gatsby. Tom knew that Wilson would take great measures to make his pain go away. So he told him it was Gatsby.

Gatsby, still devoted to Daisy after being left heartbroken, took responsibility for Myrtle's death,Gatsby's dream is only being with Daisy but his dream is obviously ruined when his car hits Myrtle and it disappears when he dies.In chapter (8)The Great Gatsby is a tragic tale about a man who lost his life over a woman who did not even attend his funeral.

In chapter (8) Gatsby's death is significant because it represents the horrible end to the dream that he built his whole life, even though in a way he already died when he lost his chance to be with Daisy after the fight with Tom.The irony of Jay Gatsby’s life is that Daisy never attended his funeral despite the fact that he spent all his life loving her. Nick try to contact Daisy about Gatsby's death but she already left with Tom , and she did not attend Gatsby's funereal.

Gatsby’s arrangement of a meeting with Daisy at Nick’s

Gatsby wants Nick's house to look good, too. He is nervous because he wants Daisy to see that he is wealthy. He thinks that if Daisy sees him as wealthy, then she'll see him as being worthy of her. when Daisy meets Gatsby they both were nervous but after the meeting they looked happy and very deep in love with each other.

As Gatsby peers into Daisy's eyes and listens to her enchanting voice, he becomes more and more in love with the vision he has conjured in front of him. As the chapter closes, Daisy and Gatsby have become so lost in each other that Nick ceases to exist for them. In response, Nick quietly retreats, leaving the lovers alone together.

Gatsby is close friend with Nick , he asks Nick to invite Daisy at his house , he wants Nick to agree to his plan of inviting Daisy over for tea. Nick tells Gatsby that he will help him with the plan.

At first, Gatsby’s reunion with Daisy is terribly awkward. Gatsby knocks Nick’s clock over and tells Nick sorrowfully that the meeting was a mistake. After he leaves the two alone for half an hour, however, Nick returns to find them radiantly happy—Daisy shedding tears of joy and Gatsby glowing. Outside, the rain has stopped, and Gatsby invites Nick and Daisy over to his house, where he shows them his possessions. Daisy is overwhelmed by his luxurious lifestyle, and when he shows her his extensive collection of English shirts, she begins to cry. Gatsby tells Daisy about his long nights spent outside, staring at the green light at the end of her dock, dreaming about their future happiness.
