Then he receives an invitation from Mr. Jay Gatsby. He sees what a party thrown by Gatsby is like - all the rich and famous people attending this amusement park of a party. Following this party, Gatsby brings Nick along for lunch in New York with a special guest, Meyer Wolfsheim. Meyer to me seems to be a very classic gangster (which in my opinion were the best criminals America has seen for no other reasons than that they fed the poor and housed them as well as created entertainment for these people. And of course, they were for the most part very well-dressed and better mannered than the criminals of today.) .
It is after this lunch with this shady character that a confused Nick returns home only to find out that Gatsby wishes to have lunch with Daisy at Nick's house, discreetly mentioning the fact that Daisy can not be aware of his presence until she is within the household. Once Nick learns of their untimely and rather doomed love, he slowly drifts away from Gatsby and his parties. But, upon a more special invitation involving both Daisy and Tom to attend a party, Nick joins them and notices that Gatsby seems to write a death sentence in his mind every time Daisy looks with discontent upon anything. This shows me the extreme lengths Gatsby would go for his girl, to please and impress her. Unfortunately, his efforts are doomed. After a heat wave strikes the area, the Buchanan's, Nick, and Gatsby all drive into the city for some fun. But ultimately, it becomes the beginning of the end of Gatsby's love affair with Daisy. Gatsby have a massive argument which leads to Tom accusing Gatsby of trying to steal his wife along with his report of what he has found out about Gatsby and how Gatsby garnered all the money he had. I see this as the climactic moment of the book, because here Gatsby, like an onion, has been peeled back until the final layer. And beneath it, there is nothing. Daisy and Gatsby leave the hotel before Nick, Tom, and Jordan, something Tom allows to prove to Gatsby Daisy's faithfulness in her marriage.
