1
How does Gatsby act before Daisy arrives at Nick's house?
Extremely nervous and awkward — he nearly calls the whole thing off and shows up soaking wet from the rain
2
What is the significance of Gatsby showing Daisy his shirts?
He throws a pile of expensive shirts at her to show off his wealth — Daisy cries, saying she has never seen such beautiful shirts. It shows she equates love with material wealth.
3
What happens to Gatsby's dream when he reunites with Daisy?
Nick observes that the reality of Daisy can never fully match the idealized dream Gatsby has built up over five years — the dream may already be fading
4
What does the green light mean to Gatsby after reuniting with Daisy?
It loses some of its symbolic power — now that Daisy is real and present, the distant dream it represented is gone
