THE wEATHER
In chapter 5, it rains hard before Gatsby gets to Nick's house. The rain cools down when Nick and Gatsby are talking and waiting for Daisy. When Daisy and Gatsby are alone and are having an awkward conversation, the rain starts back up. Now at Gatsby's, wind starts while they're in the music room. Gatsby and Daisy are getting along better. The wind may be foreshadowing future issues between Gatsby and Daisy.

A breeze blew throught he room, blew curtains in at one end and out the other like pale flags, twisting them up toward the frosted wedding-cake of the ceiling, and then rippled over the wine-colored rug, making a shadow on it as wind does on the sea. (Chapter I, pg. 8) RR
