The climax in the novel The Great Gatsby, I believe, is when after many years, Gatsby is finally reunited with his beloved Daisy. Before this moment, there was a growing tension. Gatsby was approaching his goal after countless parties. Nick, the link to Gatsby and Daisy reuniting, becomes friends with Gatsby at one of his parties. He already knows Daisy since she is his cousin. This moment in which Nick gets them together with the excuse of a tea party is when things begin to change and the “snowball effect” begins. Because Gatsby had achieved his goal of reuniting with Daisy, he no longer needed to throw huge fancy parties which sole purpose was to attract Daisy. Gatsby also fired his old employees for more discreet ones. Daisy and Gatsby began to have more frequent visits in Gatsby’s mansion. These reunions led to more visits with Tom Buchanan. Daisy became more insolent toward her husband. Tom discovers that Gatsby and Daisy are lovers. When they all go town, a showdown between Gatsby and Tom brings everything to the light. After this confrontation, they leave. Gatsby and Daisy leave together and she hits Myrtle, who was married to George Wilson and had an affair with Tom. Gatsby takes the blame. George in vengeance finally kills Gatsby. Because of one event, Gatsby and Daisy get together, all goes downhill up to the resolution where Gatsby is killed.
I think that the climax of the story is when Gatsby meets Daisy. He first meets Nick, then little by little he becomes closer to him and becomes his friend. And through Nick's connections and his help, Gatsby is able to meet with Daisy. That is when things start changing. Gatsby thinks that he is almost getting Daisy back, that his goal is almost reached. However, that deteriorates as time passes. After Daisy and Gatsby are reunited, things start falling apart until Gatsby is killed at the end. Tom finds out about their affair and decides to take hold of his marriage back. The accident happens, which causes the death of Myrtle. Myrtle's husband goes crazy and tries to find the killer. He concludes that it was Gatsby and kill him; then, killing himself. Although it was Daisy who was driving, Gatsby's willing to do anything to protect Daisy got him killed. So after Gatsby meets with Daisy again after those many years, his life begins to fall apart instead of being his happiest years of his life.
The climax of The Great Gatsby is during the confrontation in New York. Right when Tom realizes that there is something between Gatsby and Daisy the ball stars rolling down to the resolution which is Gatsby´s death. Because he realized he told them to leave, Myrtle died, and Wilson took revenge. If Tom would have never realized that Daisy and Gatsby were having an amour, then Daisy would not have killed Myrtle and Wilson would not have killed Gatsby.
I believe that the climax of the story comes when Gatsby finally meets Daisy. Gatsby had waited for her for years. This explained why Gatsby was being so nice to Nick. For me it had seem very suspicious from the beginning that Nick actually got invited. Furthermore, I did not understand why Gatsby would actually bother cutting his grass and putting flowers in another person's house he just recently got to know. After Gatsby and Daisy met, this all cleared up for me, so I believe that this is the climax of the story. Also, after this event, there are no more parties in the house, as to keep this relation secret. This showed that everything he was doing so far was to get a connection with Daisy somehow. This lead to a connection with Tom, which connected to Myrtle, which connected with Wilson, ending with the death of the great Gatsby.
