What role did the weather play in the progression of events in the great gatsby chapter 7? what might the weather symbolize?me

I think to put this simply, as the weather increased, tensions grew thicker. Which spurred along action from our characters, thus revealing some of their more unsavory traits. You know, since heat is uncomfortable and stuff.

Jay is in complete denial about daisy being in love with tom, which basically shatters him as a person, because he can't get what he wants.

Which is kind of awkward because it's revealed that daisy sort of treats their affair as a bit of a joke,  because the only reason she kisses Gatsby is to get back at tom.

both of these events reveals a "side" of these characters that hasn't been shown before

Myrtle also straight up dies. Ran over by Gatsby's yellow convertible Gusenberg, which, if you looked up 'how to clout", you'd probably find a picture of that car.

And Nick walks away from it all, deciding that he's "had enough" of the Buchanan's.

My brother came 1 up 2 with a ‘brilliant’ scheme to make money at school. He 3 conceived a crazy idea to buy sweets and chocolate in a local shop then sell them at a profit to students at his school. I don’t know how he dreamed 4 up this idea, but I thought it was stupid. I tried to 5 change his mind, or, at least, make him 6 reconsider his decision, but he had 7 made up his mind to go 8 ahead with the plan. Once he’s 9 made a decision, my brother never has 10 second thoughts. Of course, the plan failed. He bought lots of expensive sweets but nobody at his school wanted to buy any from him!
