Gatsby Chapter 8

In Chapter 8, we see the true nature of Gatsby. Gatsby is a lover, horribly lovesick for Daisy, but his love goes far beyond what most people stop at. Gatsby talks nonstop about Daisy to Nick. Daisy this, Daisy that. Nick cannot see how Daisy is that amazing. Gatsby also stakes out Daisy's house one night. Gatsby does it because he does not want "anything to happen to Daisy," but its quite obvious that Gatsby just wants to b near Daisy and take her away from Tom. Gatsby hides at the house until four in the morning, and proclaims that nothing happened. Shocker. Also in the chapter, Mr. Wilson's wife dies by Daisy's hand because Daisy accidentally ran her over. Mr. Wilson wants revenge from whoever owns the yellow car that his wife died from. This leads me to predict bad omens for Gatsby in the last chapter of the book.
