- Unrequited Love
- Wilson and Myrtle
- Walked 'through her husband as if he were a ghost'
- 'The only crazy I was was when I married him'
- Daisy and Gatsby
- Daisy has 'blossomed for Gatsby'- she has peaked
- 'She came to the window and stood there for a minute and then turned out the light'- extinguishing Gatsby's dream
- Optimism of asyndetic 'run[ning] faster, stretch[ing] out our arms farther....'. Falls short with the ellipsis- inevitable unachievable nature of dreams
- 'I found myself on Gatsby's side, and alone'
- Gatsby 'standing there in the moonlight- watching over nothing'
- Gatsby's unrequited love exposes the moral hollowness of the elite
- '"You know I love you", she murmured'
- 'High in a white palace the king's daughter, the golden girl'
- '"I never loved him", she said, with perceptible reluctance'
- 'Platonic conception of himself'- Gatsby's idealised version of himself
- 'She and Tom had gone away', 'Daisy and Tom were sitting opposite each other ... with a plate of cold fried chicken between them'
- The Green Light
- 'Minute and far away'
- 'The orgastic future that year by year recedes before us'
- Wilson and Myrtle
