"As he left the room again she got up and went over to Gatsby and pulled his face down, kissing him on the mouth. 'You know I love you,' she murmured." p. 74
now that I've gotten a little further in the book, I've got some solidified themes. I think. essentially, Tom and Daisy aren't at all happy in their marriage. so what do they do? cheat, lie, and lie some more. exhibit A ^ "He" is Tom. Gatsby is not Tom. "She" is Daisy. again, Gatsby is not Tom. what?! right before this they all speculate that Tom is on the phone with his girl, right in front of Daisy. so, she's gotta know that he's with her, right? and he finds out for sure shortly after this that Gatsby and Daisy have a thing for one another two. BUT THEY STILL DON'T GET RID OF EACH OTHER. gaaaaaaah. drives me crazy. especially that everyone holds onto these elaborate lies that everyone else knows about... I mean really? what's the point?
this has been happening throughout the book, but I'm really sick of it now.
