The poem at the beginning of the story kind of shows a man that is trying to impress a woman. It shows a man that thinks he has to put on an extravagant show to get a woman to love him. I think this relates to Gatsby's love for Daisy because he moved into a house near her and put on all these huge extravagant parties in hope that Daisy would walk through the door one day. He was doing a lot of show to guarantee that he would see her again,
The poem shows that a man will do anything to impress a women. To get her to want him as much as he wants her. It does not matter what it involves he will do it to get her attention. I think this related to Gatsby and Daisy because he wants her to notice him. Gatsby also wants her to want him and not want to be with Tom. So he throws parties in hope that she will come and notice him.
The poem on the title page states that in order for a man to get a woman to love him, he should do whatever it takes to impress her, whether it is through wealth or action, until she reciprocates his love. The epigraph is representative of Gatsby's attempt at trying to attract Daisy's attention through his extravagant shows of wealth. He holds glamorous parties at his mansion in hopes of seeing Daisy and rekindling their love.
In some ways, Gatsby's lavish attempts to curry favor with a woman reminds me of the story we read from "One Amazing Thing" about women going to the salon to look pretty and attract a mate.
The epigraph is saying a man will do whatever it takes to impress the lady and get her attention. In Gatsby case this means moving close to Daisy in hopes to get her attention he once had. He throws extravagant parties hoping they will lure her in so he can see her. Gatsby really loves Daisy and wants her; he would jump through hoops to get her back.
The poem at the beginning of the story is saying that a man should use whatever means necessary to impress the woman he cares for. It also reminds me of peacocks, because the most showy, impressive male is the one that gets the girl. Gatsby uses this poem's meaning and moves closer to Daisy, having extravagant parties that he hardly enjoys anyways, hoping to see her and resume their romance. Personally, I think it is very romantic that he's willing to go through so much for Daisy, but at the same time, it's silly. A woman should want a man because she loves him, not because of his money.
The poem from the beginning says that a man should do whatever it takes to show a woman he loves her and to do anything to get her to love back. This fits with Gatsby because he is doing that to get Daisy to love him in the best way he knows how. He knows that money attracts her the most so he is using his to throw large parties to get her attention. I don't think he should try to get Daisy to love him this way because I think she will only end up loving his money and not Gatsby. This shows that Gatsby will do whatever it takes to make Daisy love him, and it shows that Gatsby has a sensitive side by trying to gain love.
The poem on the title page says that a man should do anything that it takes to earn the love of his woman. Gatsby, who is in love with Daisy, is attempting to win her love with money. We know that Daisy has a great desire for money from earlier chapters. She is always trying to improve her status by associating with the rich. Gatsby intentionally tries to impress her with the huge house that he bought and the parties that he throws, which are famous for being extravagant. Gatsby doesn't even enjoy his parties, but he knows it is a good way to display his riches. He simply sits aside sadly and watches, hoping one day maybe Daisy will show up to one.
The poem in the beginning of the chapter describes how a man would do anything for the love of a woman. Gatsby reveals his love for Daisy and describes how he doesn't really like money at all. The only reason he has extravagant parties is for Daisy, since she loves money so much. Its sad how he just sits back and watches a party hoping Daisy will show up one day. He can't even enjoy his wealth, not saying money is everything.
The "quote" in the title page is meant to describe the way men believe that they must win over women. They think (according to Mr.D'Invilliers) "If I can buy this and do that, I can surely woe this girl!" Gatsby thinks that if he buys a huge house just across the bay for Daisy to see and hosts extravagant parties he can win over Daisy from her husband. His priority is Daisy, thus he doesn't enjoy his money nor does he take a more direct approach.
The poem on the title page is talking about how a man should do anything for the love of a woman. Gatsby is trying to put on all this amazing stuff to win over Daisy's love, hoping she will leave her husband for him.
The poem on the title page shows that a true man will go to extreme levels to show his affection for the woman he loves. A man will show his love in many different ways. This relates to Gatsby trying to win the love of Daisy back from Tom. He moved next to her in a mansion and throws exquisite parties just to get her attention in hope that one day she will love him once again.
The poem shows what great lengths a man should go to to let a woman know he loves her. It shows that a man should give up anything for his girl. This shows Gatsby has a deep, passionate love for Daisy that he has never really let go. It shows he would do anything for her, rather than that husband she has now. I think Gatsby is definitely sincere. He has stayed out of Daisy's life for so long and respected her privacy, but now he realizes he can't wait any longer now that he sees an opportunity.
This poem relates to Gatsby in that he is going to extreme extents to win Daisy back from Tom. The poem is suggesting that a man should do whatever is necessary to attract the attention of a woman he loves, and get her to love him as much as he loves her. We learn that Gatsby's motive for moving to his mansion is to be close to Daisy. And his reason for his parties is the hope that one day she will show up at one, otherwise he doesn't even enjoy them. (Also, this explains why Gatsby preferred to be off by himself during his own parties).
I don't agree with this poem. If a woman loves you, you shouldn't need to go to such desperate extents. Gatsby's actions in trying to win back Daisy seem pretty psycho to me.

ReplyDeleteIt would have been a lot easier (and less expensive) to pick up the phone and call her. Of course, it wouldn't be nearly as romantic.

ReplyDeleteGatsby is definitely preening like a peacock via his lavish parties and lifestyle.

ReplyDeleteSad that he's gone to such extremes to attract Daisy's attention, when all he had to do was walk up and talk to her.
