The Great Gatsby
by F. Scott Fitzgerald
“Then I
went out of the room and down the marble steps into the rain, leaving them
there together” (Fitzgerald, 96). This scene is full of love. At first, Gatsby
thinks it is a terrible mistake. Nick convinces him that it is all right and
that they are both embarrassed. Gatsby continues to talk to Daisy and the two
become hypnotized by each other. It is apparent that they love each other
greatly. This scene reminds me of a song by Red: Start Again. The speaker in the song is asking for another chance
at love. He acknowledges that mistakes have been made. He asks innocently if he
could start again. He continues to mention that he is nothing without her. This
song effectively describes the feeling that both Gatsby and Daisy are feeling.
