But even here, she takes it not because Gatsby was with his wife, but only because they envy and es


On the north coast of Long Island, in the West Egg, he moved a promising young stockbroker, Nick Carraway, who rents a small house unpretentious, surrounded by sumptuous mansions of the nouveau riche.
The most beautiful, without doubt, is the building purchased by the millionaire Jay Gatsby, the mysterious great n and fascinating gentleman who gives every weekend of the party to which the whole town participates in uninvited. Unique to behold delivered a ticket to one of these events, it's Nick.
He cheats on her, and he cheated on her with who knows how many women, in the few years of their marriage, and she looks through melancholy and veiled protests, resents everything, but still resists.
So, when Daisy finds, after having waited for years for him is quite obvious and simple: get back together, pick up where they had left five years before, as if nothing had changed, as if there was a wedding in the middle.
And while all of its guests, the many faces that his huge villa was home on summer great n evenings were busy questioning about his past, affibbiandogli the worst crimes and the most lurid allegations, guessing its degree of corruption, he was there alien to everything. Alien to that rotten world that distorts and contaminates all, he was there, with his eyes turned to the sea, arms outstretched towards a green light to pursue his dream incorruptible.
"And as I sat there meditating on the old, unknown world, I thought of Gatsby's wonder when for the first time he saw the green light at the end of Daisy's dock.
A little woman, great n Daisy, who does not even know what love is, that five years ago, tired of waiting for the young man, and then penniless Gatsby, get rich, good yields to the first party that makes the court, Tom Buchanan.
"He wanted to give shape to his life now, without further delay - and the decision had to be taken by force ... love or money matters purely great n practical great n - and in any case at hand.
All of this materialized in mid-spring, with the arrival of Tom Buchanan. He looked great n healthy and strong, both physically and in position, and Daisy was flattered great n them. No doubt there was a certain struggle and a certain relief. The letter great n reached Gatsby while he was still at Oxford. "
But let's be clear, there can not because they loved him, but because he reminds those few and rare occasions when it is shown gentle with her, and she so hungry and in need of love and attention, and even those rare fools events great n (because of nonsense it is), can not remember them, even them close to your heart.
They were together, but in the meantime he had a thousand other reports, she hated everything and unsatisfactory consolation of marriage great n (since her husband did not give her the attention she would have hoped) with ease and whims that only money and a good social position could afford it.
And it is easy then to Tom, when he believes he has lost his new mistress, Myrtle, wanting to take his wife close, and wanting to clarify with her, telling her that he has always loved her even when she was "partying."
"His wife and his mistress, until an hour before secure and inviolate, were slipping precipitately out of his control. Instinct great n made him press the accelerator with the double great n purpose of achieving Daisy and indulge Wilson behind ... "
"They were careless types, Tom and Daisy - sfracellavano things and people and then retreat into their wealth or their carelessness or whatever held them together and demanded that other rimediassero disaster that had left around ..."
But even here, she takes it not because Gatsby was with his wife, but only because they envy and especially because it believes guilty of killing Myrtle, which probably kept more than his wife.
Nick Carraway is the narrator of the story, and it is the reader, think what we think, wants to know what we want to know, discover the people and events with us, and as we are dying to find out who this Gatsby .
A reading this, I add that to my list of "must-read" because Gatsby, his person, his hope and his unconditional love are a must know.
Both selfish, both undecided between two men who do not love if not in terms of self-interest. In both novels, then the story is told from a third person who is not the protagonist great n of the story, but who knows and has witnessed the events, such presence here is played by Nick Carraway in "Wuthering Heights" instead we find in the character of Mr. Lockwood.
