- ... of the world of the future. When Orwell wrote 1984 in 1948, a strange coincidence, Europe was in the middle of World War II.

He admits to Nick after near the end of the story that Daisy might have loved Tom, but "in any case," "it was just personal."(160) To Gatsby, "personal" love is not important.
