Chapter 7 and 8

In the beginning of the book Daisy and Tom had a lot of tension in their marriage in the beginning of the book regarding the “business” phone calls Tom receives at home. This hinted at the fact Daisy knew about Tom having a mistress and that there would be a confrontation at some point. As well, Daisy always covers up her emotions and appears as though she is in denial. This also is seen when she strikes and kills Myrtle while driving. Daisy acts as though she didn't do it and allows Gatsby to be blamed. The only confrontation Daisy had with Myrtle Wilson was a deadly one. In chapter 7 Daisy ran over Myrtle on her way home from the city. This event ultimately leads to Gatsby’s death in chapter 8. The reason for that is because Gatsby covered for Daisy by saying he was operating the car when it ran over Daisy. This causes George Wilson to track down Gatsby and eventually kill him. Gatsby did nothing more than to follow a dream, and he did that till the very end.
