1) Who does Daisy really love: Tom or Gatsby?
I think that Daisy really does love Gatsby. The problem is that Daisy got so used to living a luxurious life with Tom that she wasn't sure if wanted to risk losing that by living with Gatsby.
2) How is Gatsby "The Great Gatsby"?
I think Gatsby sees himself as great because of his actual aspirations to be great. I think he hopes that considering himself great will make it easier for him to become great.
3) Why does Fitzgerald let Tom and Daisy come out on top?
I think he does this to prove a major point. Sometimes money can't buy you success and happiness. It just comes down to fate and luck.
4) Where does the connection lie between Fitzgerald and Gatsby?
I think it lies in their personality around others. As we see, Gatsby is not the typical party host. He sort of remains aloof in the background. Fitzgerald may have been the same way with the troubles in his love life and his addictions to alcohol.
