When Nick told Gatsby that, "You can’t repeat the past," Gatsby replied, "Why, of course you can!" Do you agree with Nick or Gatsby?

I agree with Nick.

Explanation:

As the book shows, Gatsby is desperately trying to repeat a part of his past with the intention of having Daisy for himself. But their situation is no longer the same, and they are no longer the same people. Gatsby thought he had to make lots of money to deserve Daisy. While he was at war and, later, making money from criminal activities, Daisy married Tom. Tom is not a good man, but Daisy is not a good woman as well. She will never recognize Gatsby's efforts and sacrifices, for she comes from a very different reality. After a terrible tragedy, Gatsby expects Daisy to come to him, but she chooses to stay with her husband. As Nick said, it is impossible to repeat the past, and Gatsby learned that in a most difficult manner.

Nick, Gatsby, Tom, and Daisy are character in F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel "The Great Gatsby". Nick is the narrator; Gatsby is the protagonist.
