Gatsby never truly loved Daisy. He wanted her love and eventually he got it, but he wanted more than that, he wanted to have always had her love. He got too greedy and that’s why everything fell apart for him.

Definitely liked this book better the second time around. I think the first time I read it I couldn’t really relate to the characters, all of their problems seemed so far away and silly. Now I realize that this truly is one of the great American novels. It’s got a lot of important themes, like pretending to be something you’re not, appearances, earned vs inherited wealth, etc. Didn’t remember how unfavorably Fitzgerald wrote about marriage and relationships though, so that was interesting to see as an adult. The prose was also very beautiful, and it’s a short little book you can finish in a weekend.
