Question

3. How does Tom respond when Myrtle says, "Daisy! Daisy! Daisy!"? What does this reveal

about Tom's personality?

Answer 1

`\boxed {\boxed {\sf Tom \ hits \ Myrtle; he \ is \ mean \ and \ always \ wants \ to \ get \ his \ way}}`

Step-by-step explanation:

In The Great Gatsby, Tom Buchanan is married to Daisy, but continues an affair with Myrtle Wilson, who is also married.

They both don't like their partners, but Tom refuses to leave Daisy, who is elite and rich, for poor Myrtle who lives in the Valley of Ashes. However, he maintained a secret apartment where they could meet up. They throw a spontaneous party there one day and everyone gets drunk.

Myrtle begins to mock Tom and shout Daisy's name. He punches Myrtle and breaks her nose. This shows that Tom is a rude, angry, and controlling man who believes he can do whatever he wants.
