The Great Gatsby- summary

Honestly, I never really thought the summary was that important, but I guess in order to get into the analysis one needs to understand the plot of the book. The Great Gatsby begins with Nick Carraway, the narrator of the book, moving from the Midwest to New York to become a broker. He finds himself a small place to rent in the East Egg, next to a Gothic mansion with a mysterious owner who throws the biggest parties in town, Jay Gatsby. Nick has connections in West Egg, mainly his cousin and her husband, Tom and Daisy Buchanan. He visits them and is introduced to the famous golfer, Jordan Baker. Nick is shocked to learn that Tom is having an affair, one he doesn't even try to conceal. Tom takes Nick to meet his woman, Myrtle Wilson. They go out to town together and Nick becomes drunk for the first time. Nick is invited to a party at the Gatsby residence and becomes acquainted with Gatsby. No one at the party really seems to know Gatsby; some think he's a murderer, others think he was a German spy. The next day Jordan and Nick go out to lunch and Jordan explains that Gatsby fell in love with Daisy a long time ago and wants to have tea with her at Nick's house. Nick and Gatsby also have lunch and Gatsby explains to Nick his identity, which Nick accepts, but doesn't necessarily believe. Nevertheless, Daisy comes to tea and is shocked to see Gatsby. He shows her around his mansion, dragging Nick along. Gatsby and Daisy begin to have an affair. Of course Tom becomes suspicious, and is furious to think she wouldn't be faithful to him, despite his affair. Gatsby comes to the Buchanan house for lunch and it is evident to Tom that Gatsby and Daisy are in love. Tom confronts Gatsby, and Gatsby tells Tom and Daisy is so in love with him and never was in love with him. Daisy was there at the time and was confused, saying she did love Tom, but not anymore. Both men are offended, and Nick's just awkwardly around. Then driving back to the Buchanan's house in two cars, Tom finds his lover Myrtle has been hit by a car. Getting a description of the car from a witness, Tom realizes it was Gatsby's car. He informs Myrtle's husband the killer must have been Gatsby. Gatsby informs Nick that Daisy was the driver, but he intends to take full responsibly. Mr. Wilson, Daisy's husband, comes to Gatsby's mansion and shoots Gatsby into his pool, and then overwhelmed, he shoots himself. Nick holds a funeral for Gatsby and only one other person shows up. Tom and Daisy escape to Europe and Nick moves back to the Midwest, to escape the moral decay of the East. It's really a fantastic ending.
