The first few chapters of "The Great Gatsby" are an introduction to the main characters Nick, Tom, and Gatsby. Nick previously lived in the Midwest and just moved to West Egg. He is contacted by his former friend Tom Buchanan. I feel that Nick is nervous to arrive here because he has nobody except for Tom, who he hardly remembers. Although, the main reason he came to West Egg was to get into the bond business and make some money. Tom invites Nick over for dinner and as soon as he walks in he senses pressure between Tom and his wife Daisy. This is because Tom is said to be having an affair with a mistress in New York. This I feel, makes Nick even more uncomfortable it his arriving at West Egg. It is also in these first three chapters that Nick first lays his eyes on Gatsby, he was on the lawn across the street. In the second chapter, the relationship between Tom and his mistress Myrtle is finally released. Myrtle is a woman in her mid thirty's who lives with her husband Wilson who owns a garage. I like that they have an affair because this gives Gatsby and Daisy a better chance to get together and live happily ever after. The only reason I know that they had a past relationship is because my class spoiled it. In chapter three, Nicks relationship with Gatsby starts. He is invited to Gatsby three day weekend party. He arrives and there are hundreds of people drinking and socializing. This I feel, is so typical. A rich man having a party and half of the people don't even know him, but yet they are there having fun. When this party comes to an end on Monday, Nick sees Gatsby's servants fixing the place up.
