One thing that foreshadowed the events was when Gatsby was so certain that he could “repeat the past.” When Nick and him had this conversation and Gatsby kept reassuring himself that he could make everything the way it was, I got the feeling that he would not be able to win Daisy back, because in the past he lost her too.
Another thing that was mentioned earlier in the book was the situation with Myrtle and Wilson. Once he found the dog collars and realized that she was cheating on him, I knew that he was going to do something. When Myrtle saw Tom in the yellow car, and started to freak out it seemed that something big was coming.
Also, when Nick revealed the truth about Gatsby, it completely changed what I thought about him. Now he seemed like a shady character. Of course, I liked the fact that he cared for Daisy so much, but I felt that there was going to be a dark fate for him. I didn’t like him after I learned his past, and partly because he was so willing to have an affair with a married woman. I kind of knew that Gatsby would die, especially after Myrtle died because of him and Daisy.
