Dear Jimmy Gatz,
I’m writing this letter to you because I had so many questions after reading the novel ‘The Great Gatsby’ by F Scott Fitzgerald where Nick Carraway has mentioned so much about you.
I know your love for Daisy was pure and you thought she was still the same Daisy you left five years back. But didn’t you ever think what happened in her five years of life after you left her? She got married and bore two children.
It is fine to think she was in love with you and would never fall for another man despite any marriage thing. But dear Gatsby, people change. Especially women, who have been in an emotional swing for five years do change. But for such a pure love like yours, any woman should have been ready to start over. I still find Daisy stupid in this case.
And, what were you thinking when you took the blame of that accident on you? Love should not be blind up to this level. You had struggled for five years so much to earn millions and this fame which vanished in a minute when you let them accuse of something you did not do!
What hurts me the most is when you were shot dead without even getting to explain yourself! Poor lovers, you Gatsby and George Wilson, you two became victim of two failed love.
I would never forgive Tom Buchanan, Daisy & Myrtle. Though Myrtle is dead too, I still would not forgive her. Still, Tom is the greatest villain I would say.
What you could not see Gatsby is the tears on the face of Mr. Gatz on your funeral. He said a lot of good things about you. I liked the way you used to tick off things you finished even on your early life as explained by your father. You were a man with such a great dedication I have to admit. And, you should be proud to have a genuine friend like Nick. As Nick says, you are always The Great Gatsby.
With love,
Aleena
