Chapters 8 and 9 provide very symbolic ending to the story. One early morning, Nick goes over to Gatsby's mansion to talk to him. Gatsby admits to him that he loved Daisy so much that she was the first girl he ever felt that he needed to lie about his background and change his identity, to make her love him back. He loved Daisy because of her youth and vitality, and because of her wealth and popularity. Daisy promised Gatsby that she would wait for him to come back from the war and they would get married, but then she ran off with Tom who had a "more stable social status." This is not true love. True love does not look at material possession, but it looks at the heart. I feel that Gatsby and Daisy had a "fake," material love. One night, Gatsby is floating in his pool, looking at the stars.Wilson creeps up on him, and then shoots him dead as a punishment for killing Myrtle with his car. Wilson then shoots himself and dies. Come to find out, Tom had told Wilson that Gatsby was the one who killed Myrtle. He felt that Gatsby simply deserved to die, because he would never be good enough. During Gatsby's funeral, many people were talking. Many stories and rumors were going around, but no one knew the truth.
I feel that Gatsby's death was symbolic of his life. He was a dead man until he met Daisy. Daisy made him come alive again, until the reality hit him that he could not keep her. Daisy was the only reason for his happiness. When he realized that Daisy was no longer his, he became dead again. Although he did not kill himself, he was ready to die.
Nick finally decides that he wants to move back to the West, and he's had enough of the East. Tom and Daisy also moved away, and did not disclose their new address. I believe that staying in East Egg would have been too difficult for Daisy, because she would have constantly been reminded of Gatsby and what she could have had.
I feel that this story was full of characters who were absent of morals and who believed that money and fame was all that was needed to have a happy life. They did not fully love each other, and there was a lot of hate and dissonance between them. Nick was the only one who truly began to realize what was wrong, and I believe that was part of the reason as to why he moved away. While violence added to the conclusion of this story, violence is never the true answer to a problem.
