Jordan and Nick
What's going to happen with Jordan and Nick? Is it a completely superficial relationship, or will it develop into something more meaningful? The relationship could conflict with Nick's possible attraction to Gatsby, and it's possible that this will be made more apparent as the story continues. I predict that they will not end up as a good couple, due to Nick's possible homosexuality, and Jordan's inherent dishonesty.

Hmm Im feeling that your predictions are correct in the sense that this couple is not going to work out but i also thin that the idea of nicks homosexuality is pretty false. I think its just our teenage minds thinking of clever things that are not there. But we really are not far enough into the book to make a final decision on wealth or not nick is homosexual, or even bisexual.
ReplyDeleteThroughout most of the first 4 chapters it appears that Nick has a 'crush' on Gatsby. However, at the end of chapter 4, when Nick learns of Gatsby's feelings for Daisy, he throws himself upon Jordan, kissing her for the first time. I believe that Gatsby's relationship with Daisy will cause Nick to give up hope that he could ever be with Gatsby, and furthermore, will fuel Nick's relationship with Jordan.
