Symbolism:

The main symbolism in this chapter is through the weather. We began to see a pattern in the book. Anytime Gatsby is upset it begens to become really nastyy outside and rains. Gatsby's mood affects the weather in this novel. Whenever Gatsby is happy the weather will be dry and sunny. When Gatsbty is upset it will start to rain and sometimes even pour. On page 88 it is pouring rain, this is because Gatsby is about to see Daisy and he is scared and nervous. The weather mirrors his feelings. Then after a half hour on page 93 he has met with Daisey and things are going good. The sun begans to peak through because Gatsby is happy and enjoying the time that he is spending with Daisy. On page 99 the rain starts to fall again. the rain is falling this time because it is time for Daisy to leave. Gatsby's mood is not happy he is very sad that she is leaving. Again the rain is mirroring Gatsby's sadness. The main symbolisn in this chapter is the weather. The aurthor incorporated the rain and the sun to depict the moods of Gatsby. This also shows that Gatsby is a man of great power.
