Pay homage to the newborn

Standing in the huge living room, Gatsby looked around slowly, and then he was sure once again that the dilapidated ruins in front of him were the living room where he used to live. Perhaps it is not appropriate to describe this place as ruins, after all, it can still be seen vaguely. There were traces of the past, but Gatsby swears, he really can't think of another word to describe this place, this place that he was once so proud of.

Gatsby was a little dazed, and he was a little at a loss. All this in front of him seemed to be described in a bedtime story. The gorgeous castle was surrounded by thorns under the curse of the witch, and the time here fell into a deep sleep with the beautiful princess.Gatsby felt that it was inappropriate to describe himself like this, especially when he saw himself lying in the coffin and died long ago, he felt even more horrified. After all, he could not wait for the brave prince like a princess, and use the kiss of true love to free himself from the curse. wake up.

In the dim living room, Gatsby stood quietly beside his coffin. Of course, he couldn't make a sound. After all, he had already died, and what stood here was only a free soul that finally got rid of the shackles of his body.The coffin was not decided by Gatsby, just as he never thought that death would come so suddenly, he never considered what kind of wooden box he should choose to rot in after his death.This coffin was probably chosen by Nick for him, Gatsby thought, after all he only had this last friend, didn't he?

Gatsby sat on his own coffin. If it was before, he would naturally not be able to achieve such lightness. After all, there is always a price to pay for wealth, but who made him a soul that weighs only 21g now?He sat there, maybe because it was the closest to his useless dead body, maybe it was just because it happened to be able to see Nick's profile on the phone not far away.

Gatsby couldn't make any sound. He came to this conclusion after screaming like a madman in front of Nick and the butler, which made him realize once again that he was a dead person.Maybe Gatsby would have been distressed by this before, but now he just thinks it's not a big deal. In addition to reminding him of his current situation, it also allows him to observe his only friend so patiently for the first time, who is different from him. He used to speculate on the opponent's every move during the transaction, but now he simply looks at Nick, without thinking or reacting.Because Gatsby believes that Nick doesn't bother to hide himself, doesn't bother to use the ridiculous disguise, his sincerity is like a satire of the world full of hypocrisy.Nick is so special that he is Gatsby's only friend, although Gatsby was once ashamed of his hypocrisy because of Nick.

After carefully looking at Nick, I found that except for some decadence and weakness, he was still the same as Gatsby before his death, so simple and young, maybe it is not appropriate to say young, but Gatsby found that he could not find other words To describe Nick, if he can, he wants to use all good words to describe the friend in front of him, just like he always thinks that he is a collection of all derogatory words—maybe except for the commendatory word dedicated, he and Nick are like the opposite At least Nick is the complete opposite of Gatsby.

Gatsby looked at Nick's red eyes and his obviously stiff hands that were still holding the phone tightly, and sighed unconsciously. Why didn't he realize that besides being sincere, Nick was also stubborn and terrible sometimes, Gatsby I thought so in my heart.Nick's blue-green eyes were full of sadness and helplessness, and the deep affection made Gatsby dare not look at it after a quick glance. Nick would clean himself up every day, so Gatsby had never seen him like this. Nick was a bit scruffy with a beard, but he wished he hadn't used the opportunity.

After Gatsby woke up, of course not the one lying in the coffin, he kept on calling, repeating the same actions—picking up the receiver, dialing, and then hanging up, talking almost The words repeated many times by him - Hello, are you Mr. ××?Are you free to attend Gatsby's funeral tomorrow? ——Of course, almost everyone chose to hang up the phone when he said Gatsby's name, and some people would wait for him to finish speaking and then "politely refuse" because of etiquette habits.

Nick had been on the phone for two whole days, and he hadn't had much rest except for dealing with some water and food that the old housekeeper brought from time to time. Gatsby's use of handling to describe Nick's food and water was perfect, because Nick Sitting on the chair in the living room to eat and drink mechanically as if completing a task, he only took a short rest.The old butler persuaded Nick to give up. After all, the phone book was halfway through, but no one agreed to come to Gatsby’s funeral. Seeing Nick on the phone, Gatsby himself wanted to persuade him to give up, after all, he knew the phone book. It is never a friend recorded on the Internet, because the phone number of a friend is always in my heart, except for Nick, after all, they live so close.

Gatsby probably guessed that the old butler stayed here, after all, he had shown some kindness to the old man, but Gatsby couldn't fully figure out why Nick stayed here, maybe because he was Nick's friend, And after his death, no one can preside over the funeral?Gatsby presumably decided that was the reason, but Nick told him that wasn't quite the case.

It was already dark, and tomorrow was the day of Gatsby's funeral. Thanks to Nick's persistence, two or three of his "friends" finally agreed to come to his funeral. The old butler packed up and went to bed early. Nick sat silently on the stairs beside the coffin, he couldn't see Gatsby sitting on the coffin watching him, just like Gatsby couldn't see Nick's struggle in the dark night being dragged into the quagmire by guilt.

When Gatsby realized that Nick was crying, Nick had already started to choke, and he confessed to the invisible God intermittently in a hoarse voice. He told Gatsby's tragedy, and he was so sad that he couldn't control himself, just like the one in the tragedy. The protagonist is not the one lying in the coffin, but the one who hides in the dark and repents.Gatsby listened to all the words Nick used about himself, and he even once suspected that it was a funeral. After all, for him, he might only hear such praise at a funeral.

In Nick's story, Gatsby is set up as an infatuated gentleman. Perhaps in Nick's eyes, he is such an existence. He is bravely fighting against fate for the once beautiful love, but when he is far away from his dream Be let down by dreams.Gatsby used once beautiful to describe his love with Daisy, yes, once.Gatsby listened to Nick telling him lying there apologetically that Daisy and Tom couldn't attend his funeral for some reason, and he expressed it in euphemistic words as much as possible, as if Gatsby could blame him for not working hard. of.

Gatsby recalled Daisy's bewitching face, but all he could think of was the glittering ornaments in Daisy's hair. He loved Daisy, there was no doubt about it, he told Nick as well as himself.Daisy was his dream, his obsession that almost became a demon, he couldn't get her but he couldn't let her go, and in the end he could only let himself live in painful struggle.When he took the blame for Daisy, he felt somehow happy, as if at last he had a chance to make up for Daisy's affection.Yes, compensation, because Gatsby always more or less believes that Daisy's unhappiness after marriage is partly due to his letting go, even though Daisy's choice has nothing to do with Tom's derailment and him.

People believe in God not only because God is omnipotent, but also because God is far away, so they feel endless awe in their hearts.Daisy is his god, so far away that he has to keep chasing it, and finally turns into the only green light in the night, which seems to be laughing at how ridiculous Gatsby's efforts are, because Daisy has never belonged to God in the end. He, even at his funeral, Daisy was stingy at giving him the last ounce of kindness.

If all this happens again, Gatsby doesn't know whether he will continue to chase Daisy or even take the blame for her. The only thing he knows is that there is no gift of if in this world, and he can only carry the helplessness and relief so far. Forgotten by time in the coffin.

It was late at night, and Nick's confession was over. He had to rest for a while, but his tired body could no longer support him to go back to bed, so he lay down on the stairs to rest, his frowning deeply engulfing his sorrow. stay in his dreams.Gatsby got down from the coffin lid and sat next to Nick. Knowing that he couldn't touch it, Gatsby still tried to rub Nick's hair with his hands. It was different from Daisy's light blonde short dark brown hair, which made Gatsby Tsby thought maybe it would be harder to the touch.Gatsby patted Nick on the shoulder, as he had done before, as if this would drive away the sadness in Nick's dream, but he couldn't, the only thing he could do was to take another look at Nick, Take a look at this home that cannot be called home.

Gatsby sat next to Nick all night and said yes
