didn't seem as if any similarities between the
wealthy, dainty Daisy Buchanan, the object of
Gatsby's worship, and Myrtle Wilson, the bawdy,

analysis, there was more to their motives and
personalities go deeper than that. Fo...

The Great Gatsby, contains violence and egoism not

similar in a few ways. Unfaithfulness and greed
are the only similarities the couples shared. Tom,
