After all of the anticipation, Fitzgerald finally tells through Jordan, the story of Gatsby's inquiry. When Jordan explains the story of Daisy and Gatsby's relationship when they were younger the story starts to fall into place. The climax of the story is without a doubt when Gatsby asks Nick to have Daisy over so he may have the chance to see her again. At first when Gatsby asks this I am a bit offended for Nick, thinking that this was the reason he was invited to the party I thought it was a quite rude. Gatsby goes on to explain that he invited Nick before he had any idea whether or not he was related to Daisy at all. Character development is a major part of this particular section of the book. The fact that Nick agrees to this shows that he is understanding. Because Nick's character has been building and growing the whole book the reader already knows he will agree because we have seen this characteristic in him before.
