In chapters three and four, Gatsby is a character that is a bit off. He isn't very straightforward and open with Nick about what he wants. Gatsby spends chapters three and four trying to impress Nick, and become friends with him. In the end, Nick ends up hearing about Gatsby and Daisy at the end of chapter four from Jordan. " Gatsby bought that house so that Daisy would be just across the bay... He wants to know.. if you'll invite Daisy to your house some afternoon and then let him come over"(Fitzgerald 78). Gatsby went through Jordan to get to Nick. Gatsby was still trying be be friends and impress Nick, and not get on his bad side.
In chapters five and six, Gatsby is really opening up. In the beginning of chapter five, Gatsby offers Nick a job to help him with his bootlegging. Even though he doesn't directly state anything about bootlegging Gatsby is starting to take more risks. In chapter six we really find out who Jay Gatsby is and the whole facade tht he built up begins to fall. Gatsby also, starts his affair with Daisy , which puts both of them at risk. Throughout chapters three throught six Gatsby has continually done more and more risky things.
