Question

What does the description of Tom Buchanan as "one of those men who reach such an acute limited excellence at twenty-one, that everything afterward savors of anti-climax" exactly mean in The Great Gatsby?

Answer 1

Tom was very successful early in life which made life seem boring for him, so he would take his luxuries for granted, and made him feel as if he could buy over everyone.
