Question

Gatsby and Nick travelled quite a distance to have lunch together and talk. Gatsby even mentions

that he has a favor to ask of Nick, but has Jordan ask Nick for him.
What is the favor Gatsby is asking for? Why did he have Jordan ask for him?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Gatsby wants Nick to invite Daisy to his house one afternoon and to invite Gatsby there as well.

Gatsby, although charming and charismatic, is absolutely enamored with Daisy Buchanan. He knows Jordan is close to Daisy but may seem a bit too eager if she is the one asking, and because nick has a house in West Egg its easy to have Jordan ask the two of them.
