It was the hottest day of summer, and Daisy, Tom, Jordan, Nick and Gatsby are having lunch at the Buchanan mansion. What are we doing with ourselves this afternoon? cried Daisy, “and the next day, and the next thirty years?” “Don’t be morbid,” Jordan said. “Life begins again when autumn turns cool” (Fitzgerald 125). With Daisy's exclamation, Fitzgerald emphasizes her agitation. Living a life supported by money and possessions, Daisy doesn't know what else to do with her life. But Daisy isn't just wondering what to do that afternoon, she's wondering what she'll do for the next 30 years. By asking Daisy to ask herself this question, he draws attention to the naivety of the upper class of the 1920s: they are used to being supported by their money while being empty and superficial, which leads to a lack of productive judgment. They just assume things will be the same in 30 years. As we can see from Gatsby and Tom's parties in New York, the upper class temporarily solved their boredom with parties, consumption of moonshine, and various day trips to kill time (for Tom and Daisy, it would be trips to New York).
