”After his embarrassment and his unreasoning joy he was consumed with wonder at her presence. He had been full of the idea so long, dreamed it right through to the end…now, in the reaction, he was running down like an overwound clock” (Fitzgerald 92). I chose this specific quote because it shows the emotions Gatsby had during the moment that he had been longing for for years.
I really liked this chapter because I felt like it was a moment everybody was waiting for. Gatsby and Daisy finally reunited after almost 5 years and it was nice seeing how it all happened regarding their hesitant and embarrassing actions and their emotions.
