The Great Gatsby Chapters: 6 and 7

Chapter 6
Narrative style:
The narrative style in this chapter is like the majority of the novel and seen through Nicks eyes without much change.

Characters and characterisation:
In this chapter Tom becomes very jealous of how close Gatsby and Daisy get with each other.
Gatsby eventaully shows his true feelings for Daisy when he kisses her and Daisy realises how she feels about him too.
Nick seems to uncover a lot of information about Gatsby from nowhere which is slightly confusing to the reader.

Themes:
Romance is a theme due to Gatsby and Daisy finally showing their feelings towards each other and kissing.
Jealousy is also another theme because of Tom realising how close Gatsby and Daisy have become with each other.

Settings:
The main setting of this chapter is at another house party at Gatsbys mansion. Nick talks about the atmosphere and how unpleasant it feels to him. This sets the scene off what could come from Gatsby and Daisys closeness.

Ideology:
In this chapter i think the ideas displayed are of how money doesnt have anything to do with happiness as Daisy is with Tom who is rich but she doesnt love him and that She wont be with Gatsby the only one who truly loves because he wasnt as rich as Tom.

Chapter 7
Narrative style:
This chapter is once again shown through Nicks eyes as normal.

Characters and characterisation:
Tom is seen as still jealous and suspicious of Gatsby and Daisy seeing each other and being as close as they now are.
We now see Daisy and Toms daughter for the first time in the entire novel since now we have only breifly heard of her.
Daisy talks about her daughter not resembling much of her father either suggesting she doesnt want to affiliate her with Tom or she could of had an affair with someone else suggesting Gatsby is just another person to her.

Themes:
Anger is a theme due to Toms anger with Gatsby and Daisy.
Romance and love as Gatsby and Daisy are still seeing each other.

Settings:
The setting is back in New York where we witness Myrtles death by the car.

Ideology:
This simply shows the way rich people feel about things as Tom runs Myrtle over and doesnt really think twice about it or even that it will have a consiquence just because they can buy their way out.
