When Gatsby recounts his initial courting of Daisy, it provides Nick with an opportunity to analyze Gatsby's love for her. Gatsby's dream is reduced to a motivation for material gain because the object of his dream is unworthy of his power of dreaming, the quality that makes him "great" in the first place. Gatsby feels that if he loses Daisy, he is losing his entire world. He has longed to re-create his past with her and is now forced to talk to Nick about it in a desperate attempt to keep the dream alive. Even after the confrontation with Tom, Nick implicitly understands that Daisy is not going to leave Tom for Gatsby under any circumstance. Gatsby continues to insist that she will call him. Throughout the chapter, the narrative establishes a connection between the weather and the emotional atmosphere of the story. The weather corresponds to the plot just like the geographical settings of the book correspond to particular characters and themes.
