He’s despairing over Daisy and the collapse of his dream — the realization that he may not be able to “repeat the past” and recapture the exact relationship and life he imagined with her. After Daisy and Tom’s visit to his party and Nick’s warning that you can’t repeat the past, Gatsby’s hope that wealth and shows can restore what he once had with Daisy begins to crumble.
