Great Gatsby
Chapter 5
After returning
from the city, Nick encountered Gatsby late at night on his front lawn. Gatsby asked
Nick to take a swim in his pool. Nick agreed to do it. Gatsby then offered Nick
the chance to join probably illegal, business venture. Nick is offended at
Gatsby trying to buy him off and declined his offer. Gatsby and Daisy treated
each other formally at first. Nick left them alone for half an hour. When he
returned they were blissfully happy. Gatsby then took them on a tour of his
mansion. Nick reflected that over the years Gatsby had remained faithful to their
love; while Daisy had given herself to another man she never loved in exchange
for the security of wealth. They moved from the house to Gatsby’s grounds. Next,
Gatsby got one of his hangers-on to play the piano for the three of them. But Nick
left them.
