Chapter 7

So in chapter 7 Nick is invited to have lunch with Daisy and Tom in East egg. Gatsby and Daisy have an unspoken thing and it is right in front of Jordan. Wilson knows about the affair with atom and a Myrtle however Wilson has noooo idea who actually she is cheating with. Tom notices the exchanges between Daisy and Gatsby at dinner and see the emotions. They all go to the city and Myrtle is hit by a yellow car that everyone thinks is Gatsby driving it and then they go to the hotel and Tom comfronts Gatsby about all of the Daisy stuff and they fight and she gets into the fight and kind of takes Toms side and they leave. Nicks birthday and they are driving back to the island and see myrtles body and Gatsby is blamed for it. Gatsby is depressed that Daisy took toms side. The character is Myrtle and she is currently dead. "It's just a crazy old thing. I just slip it on sometimes when I don't care what I look like"(31). Yes this quote is from a chapter long ago however this quote is a good example of why Myrtle is arrogant and think highly of herself even though she has like no money and is poor. She isn't a very good person because she kinda is mean and thinks so highly of herself to make herself look rich and better although she is not that great. "She never loved you, do you hear? She only married you because I was poor and she was tired of waiting for me. It was a terrible mistake, but in her heart she never loved any one except me!" (130) this quote shows the tension between not only Gatsby and Tom but the whole situation of Gatsby loving Daisy. He is trying to put Tom down saying that Daisy never loved Gatsby but just got tired of waiting which may be part true but in a way I feel like Daisy has some feelings for atom but has more for Gatsby.
