In the book " The Great Gatsby" chapter 8, Gatsby tells Nick that he waited until 4 o'clock for Daisy to turn off her light. Gatsby tells Nick that nothing happened that he just waited for Daisy to turn off the light. Nick tells Gatsby to go away before they trace the car Daisy drove to murder Myrtle. He wouldn't consider it he couldn't possible leave daisy until he knew what she would do. Gatsby says that when he went war he made love to Daisy, that he felt as if they were married to each other. I feel like when the second character interrupted everything to say that he wanted to drain the pool was, that he wanted to drain everything Gatsby has lost. I am not sure how to explain it but like to drain all his feelings I guess, it's like a metaphor to me. I think it was so important for him to swim on his pool one last time, because it's his last time to swim on something he has not lost yet, I'm not sure. At the end of chapter 8 Gatsby's servants hear gun shots, but they do not know what it was. But in the end it turns out Mrs. Wilson's husband shot Gatsby because he thought that Myrtle was having an affair with Gatsby and that he was the one who murdered her. After she shot Gatsby he shot himself.
