NY party and others

When i finished reading the second chapter I understood so much better the first one that i said it was confusing. There’s a lot of things to talk abot in this chapter.

Second chapter helped me to see how is Tom, i was right when i said that he is kind of rude and mean. The main idea in this second chapter is that Tom cheats her wife with a girl whose name is Myrtle. She is married to Mr. Wilson, belongs to a middle class while Tom is in the high class with a lot of money. I think that this made Tom ashamed or embarrass when he is with her because he knows that he is from a different social class, old money, and he doesn't want to lose that privilege. So Myrtle is kind of his toy. But Myrtle is in love with him so she doesn’t cares or maybe she doesn’t see that… I think that in the future Daisy, Tom’s wife, will realize that her husband is cheating on her.

The fact that Tom hit Myrtle in the face was a sign of his character of dominant male or something like that… and Myrtle continued loving him, so that why I think that she doesn’t realize how Tom is using her.

Finally, when Mr. Mckee talks about the Gatsby’s party one month ago, and he said that Gatsby scares him, I think that the reaction of Nick was the opposite, like he wants to meet him and he is interested in him.
