Gatsby has a difficult time communicating with Daisy, but...?

In the early pages of chapter 6, admits that he had took advantage of young virgins carelessly. Why does he lose his loose approach to Dais, and what does that say about his character?

Gatsby has a difficult time communicating with Daisy, but...?
Because he doesn't see Daisy in the same light as the girls he picked up and had sex with. Daisy is his ideal woman. He puts her on a pedestal. He simply refuses to see the truth about her. To him, she is a Goddess. What it says about his character is that he is just living with blinders on where Daisy is concerned. Pax-C
Reply:becuase Gatsby loved Daisy. he didnt love any of those other girls. everything after he met her, was for Daisy. his house, his money, his parties! everything was for Daisy. he had unconventional love for her, and she couldnt return the favor. yes they had a little affiar, but she wouldnt tell Tom she never loved him.


this tells us that Gatsby is a very determined individual. he sets his mind to persuing Daisy, although he never gets her. what Gatsby never realized though (and this makes him a little too determined, almost clumsy) is that the part of his life with Daisy was already over. it was already behind him just like that green light from his dock that Nick saw him reaching for early in the book.
