The story is told through the eyes of Tom Buchanan, a wealthy and bored man who is married to Daisy, a beautiful woman who seems to be bored with her life.

At the party, Nick meets Gatsby, an old man who lives in a mansion near the Buchanans. Gatsby was once rich and he threw the most extravagant parties, but now he is just an old man with an extravagant house. He tells Nick that he wants to give him his fortune so that he can live the life that Gatsby once had. Nick declines Gatsby's offer, but Gatsby continues to talk to him about how he wants to give him his fortune. Eventually, Nick accepts Gatsby's offer and Gatsby gives him his house.
