When he finally does win her heart back, he is almost disappointed in a way partly because the chase was over and partly because she had not lived up to the expectations he had created in his fantasies. Fitzgerald casts Gatsby as a people pleasing manipulator. In one chapter of the book, a girl describes her one encounter with Gatsby: “‘When I was here last I tore my gown on a chair, and he asked me my name and address—inside of a week I got a package from Croirier’s with a new evening gown in it.’” (47) It almost seems as if Gatsby is only generous to avoid negative attention.

It not only changes our view on Addie, but our view on the novel as a whole. Addie's voice is imparative to the reader's outlook and while we can sense it through the voices of others, her chapter best sums up her mind. So, what if Addie's chapter did not exsist? For one, we would never have comprehended her mind and the way it twists around things like how she feels about her children and husband. We would have all thought of her as still the same loving mother who watches her son, Cash, methodically build her coffin not because she is ready and wanting soon to be in it, but because he is her son and she loves to see him work.
