The Great Gatsby
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Daisy and Gatsby meet again. Both of them are embarrassed. Nick gives them their space. After Nick returns, Gatsby invited Daisy and Nick to his house. "After his (Gatsby's) embarrassment and his unreasoning joy he was consumed with wonder at her presence" (Fitzgerald, 91-92). Gatsby went through these three stages during the meeting. They were both acting crazy as if they were meeting the others ghostly form or something. Daisy is in awe of Gatsby's house, which he had hoped. Everything seemed to go well, but it had almost been five years since they had seen each other. As Nick mentions, something must have happened that was less than what Gatsby had expected. It is common for people to get so worked up about a situation that when it actually happens, they are slightly disappointed with the outcome. Though there probably were things that went "wrong", I think Gatsby and Daisy were overall happy with the day they had after so many years.
