- Is the climax the hotel scene when Tom and Gatsby argue, or is it when Gatsby meets Daisy at Nick's house? What central conflict or conflicts are being addressed in the climax, and how is this the turning point of the narrative (story)? Use textual evidence to back up your claims.
when I was reading The Great Gatsby if someone asked me what the climax was i would have said it was when Gatsby and daisy's relationship started. however, now that i have had time to reflect i can say that the climax is the hotel scene. my main reasoning for this being that this is the scene when all the stories conflicts are put out in the open. Gatsby's relationship with Daisy come out and we get a fight between tom and Gatsby. this is also the point in the novel where everything changes. you could argue that the story changes when Gatsby and Daisy meet but there are not really any major conflicts being resolved.
