Gatsby and rain

In chapter 5, I thought the whole rain thing was really metaphoric. I thought it was interesting that Gatsby tells Nick the rain will stop at four, which is also when Daisy was due to show up. It's almost as if Gatsby thinks all of his problems will be gone when Daisy's there. In reality, the rain doesn't stop until he and Daisy have talked for a while and sorted some things out. It's kind of like an illusion vs. reality comparison.
