Things are sure heating up on the dramatic side of things, now in the book. Daisy gives birth to a child she has with a man she doesn't love, Tom. Also, Wilson found out about Myrtle's infidelity, but doesn't know who with. I found it ironic that Myrtle was struck by a car, and who was driving the car was Miss Daisy. This for sure wasn't just an accident and probably our of spite for what Myrtle had done with her husband, Tom. This leads to the question, "Did Daisy know about the affair?" Her actions displayed certainly give a good argument for why she did know. In these two chapters we see more of Gatsby's unending love for Miss Daisy, he watches her and Tom outside the house to make sure Daisy is not hurt by Tom. He also takes the blame for hitting Myrtle, which was in fact Daisy's responsibility. It is sort of sad, because obviously Gatsby is sad that Daisy has returned to Tom, but he seems to never give up his feelings he holds for her. I cannot believe Gatsby was killed, I am flabbergasted. I did not understand why Wilson killed Gatsby, he wasn't even Myrtle's lover. He clearly had some mental issues if he killed him and then himself. I feel like he knew it wasn't Gatsby, but blamed it on him for some reason. There's a deeper meaning, there always is. Gatsby didn't even see it coming, which I don't know if I like or not. I can't imagine what he was thinking and if he died a happy man, I would say he didn't.
