In The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald tells about business, describes wealth and tells about murder. There are three love stories. One is Gatsby and Daisy and the other is Tom and Myrtle. Daisy cheats on Tom with Gatsby, Tom cheats on Daisy with Myrtle, and Myrtle cheats on her husband with Tom. Tom and Daisy eventually discover that they are cheating on each other. They blame everything on Gatsby and end up leaving town to escape all the problems they have produced. One of the major love stories would be that of Daisy Buchanan and Jay Gatsby. Daisy and Gatsby were lovers before Daisy even met Tom. Daisy loved Gatsby and then he was sent to war.

It had been five years since they last saw each other (Sutton). After Gatsby and Daisy meet again, Nick leaves them alone to catch up. When Nick returned he saw that they still loved each other.
