Gatsby is slowly revealing more and more of himself, and is not as seclusive and quiet as he was before. While he is still keeping up the formality, his air and feeling are becoming more and more hospitable, as well as revealing more about his wealth and history. For example, he inherited a large sum of money, which until now, is what we assumed he was living on. His time in the oil and drug business gave me the impression of a man who knows what he is doing, but is not a gambler, but rather someone who prefers to stay on the sidelines, due to the safe nature of those sectors.
I also have a hypothesis that when Daisy followed a solider to NY before he went off to war, that solider was Gatsby. Gatsby was part of the war, and that would explain the odd reaction that Gatsby had when he saw Daisy, a reaction which seemed a bit odd, even if you hadn't seen that person in almost 5 years.
So, do you think Daisy and Gatsby were lovers before the war?
Discuss.
