In “The Great Gatsby” Gatsby is really obsessive about Daisy, who he was in love with 5 years earlier but, the war separated them and she got married to another man named Tom. He goes to excessive lengths to try and win back Daisy. Gatsby has been obsessed with trying to win back Daisy Buchanan so much that he uses his neighbor Nick to help Gatsby meet Daisy once again. He throws extravagant parties, bought a house across from Daisy’s, and has his bed facing the window that looks over Daisy’s house.

Most people would give up after the first few parties. Finally people do use their friends to try and help them talk to a crush, just not a married ex. Most good friends would try and help you get over the girl because there is no chance especially when they are married.

It would also help if he had not been trying so hard for so long to win back a girl that he would never be able to have
