I wanted to set the tone of the regret of adultery that really isn't inside The Great Gatsby. In the end, both Daisy and Tom literally lose their lovers on the side, and they really don't seem to bat an eye. But, I tried to write this from the perspective of Gatsby.

That's all the Gatsby wanted, but in the end Daisy was just too in love with herself.
