The Great Gatsby

This is the novel which depicted the whereabouts of characters with Nick's narration. Daisy, lives in across him, got married with Tom. Nick and Tom are best friends. Gatsby lives next to Nick. Daisy used to date with Gatsby. The story starts by the encounter of Daisy and Gatsby in 5 years. Tom is Daisy's husband, but he has a kept mistress, Merton in New York. Daisy is Tom's wife, but she is attracted by Gatsby whom she met in 5 years. Then I will talk about interpersonal ravel which they triggered and each view of love.

First I talk about Tom and Daisy's marital life. Tom fooled around with Merton, so Daisy was not satisfied with their life. She met Gatsby under the situation, and she would want to escape such life. Therefore she didn't choose Tom but Gatsby. If she got married with Tom by reason of alcohol or Tom's wealth, she could have abandoned realness and retrieve her past feeling. Especially if Gatsby came back with much money, she could. That's why Gatsby could declare that Daisy had not loved Tom. Gatsby felt that Daisy's voice was full of money.

Next I talk about Tom's character. He flirted, but he didn't allow Daisy to do so. Even as he had a wife, he didn't disengage his mistress. Even if Daisy tried to run away, he didn't disengage her. He was a greedy man. Because Gatsby had loved one woman for a long time, he would have thought Tom's character wasn't good. So Gatsby would mightily have thought that Daisy must have been Tom's wife. The reason she got mad during the quarrel of Tom and Gatsby was that Tom's greed and Gatsby's whiteness intersected. Finally, Tom lost his mistress, and Gatsby was shot. Maybe the clash of their temperaments caused the result.

That's how two was led to same cruel result though their points of love were different. They wanted to get their loved one, but I didn't know which thought was right. I thought Nick knew that Tom and Gatsby had a wrong idea. They had the excessive feeling. This novel tells us how difficult loving someone is.
