The great Gatsby and Symbolism

As i see it, there are 2 kinds of temperature in a story and in real life. The first one is the normal temperature that comes during the summer. The second is the feel of the story whenever there is a conflict. The climax of this story comes during the summer. It starts when Gatsby and Tom have a fight at the grand Plaza hotel, when Daisy runs over Myrtle, and finally when George kills Gatsby and himself. This might be a coincidence or something that the author did on purpose. All this happens during the "hottest" part of the story both in temperature and attitude.
