Gatsby sees Daisy as a symbol of everything he values. He has idolized her so much that the love he feels is not actually for Daisy but the Daisy that he has in his mind. Even though it is clear that Daisy has chosen Tom over Gatsby, Gatsby does not want to admit this. He keeps on waiting and fantasasing though all of his dreams are related to the past. Gatsby still cannot accept the existance of time. He wants to stop time and rewind it because he is now obsessed with Daisy. The way Gatsby sees Daisy makes Nick realize that all of the dreams people have are created by their mind. Daisy is a normal woman with nothing unique about her that distinguishes her from the others. However, the Daisy in Gatsby's mind is completly different.
Another motif which comes up in this chapter is the weather. The weather is related to the plot of the novel. In extreme cases of weather, such as the hottest day in summer or unexpected weather, such as the rain, something significant in the plot happens. The weather is also related to time; in every season there is a different weather pattern. When Gatsby tries to swim in the pool he is again trying to control time. Summer has past therefore it is too late to swim but he doesn't want to understand this. He is too determined to hold on to his dream to try to rationally think and his passion leads him to death.
