What is the climax (turning point) of the novel? How do you I know? How is the central conflict addressed in the climax? Use textual evidence to back up your claims.
The climax in my opinion was when Gatsby was shot because it eliminated the love and conflict in the book. Also when Gatsby died there was no longer two guys for Daisy to choose between because the choice was made for her in a way. Another example is when Tom Buchanan’s mistress died then Tom didn't have somebody to cheat on Daisy with even though he could probably just find someone else in the city. Even if tom didn't have anyone to cheat with, there is still the conflict of who Daisy loves. Also I thought that the climax of the story usually happens during the middle of the book but to me all the other characteristic of a climax were met when Gatsby died. Also, after Gatsby died everyone started leaving and going off on their own. Everything seemed to calm down and separate after Gatsby died.
Gatsby's death is part of the resolution of the novel. What is the central conflict and when is it directly addressed?
