Compare and contrast Gatsby and Tom
In the Great Gatsby, the characters of Tom and Gatsby are more alike then they appear to be. However, they also share some differences too. Both characters, Tom and Gatsby, use many people throughout the story. Also, neither of them really, truly loves Daisy. One of their great differences is that Gatsby is much pleasant than Tom. Tom is much more egotistic than Gatsby. They both have two different personalities, yet can relate to the same secret affairs that occurs throughout the book. First, and most obvious, Tom and Gatsby both use other people throughout the book. Gatsby was just using Nick. He wanted to find Daisy again, but he didn't know anyone who knew her. When he found out that Nick knew Daisy, he became good friends, and wanted to know more about her. He made Nick invite Daisy over for tea. He did that so Tom would let her go, and so that they would have a reason for meeting. As soon as Daisy go
t to Nick's house, Gatsby ignored Nick and paid full attention to Daisy. He invited people to his parties, just to see if any of them knew Daisy. Both characters, whether they believed it or not, didn't love Daisy. Gatsby also didn't truly love Daisy. He used Daisy when he married her, just so he would have someone to settle down with. Both characters were alike, however, they were both very different in their personalities. Both characters, Tom and Gatsby, never really loved Daisy at the time. Tom was more of an egoistic controlling person. Throughout the Great Gatsby, show that they are the same, by using people, and not loving Daisy, and that they have different personalties. Also, as soon as Myrtle died, Tom ran off with Daisy, because she was to only thing that he had left. He acted like Nick wasn't even there, as soon as he got what he wanted. " When he was with Myrtle, he hit her and broke her nose, just because she was saying Daisy's name, and he hit her in front of all their guests. More than likely, Tom wouldn't have stayed with Daisy if Myrtle was still alive.
