Who Is Daisy In The Great Gatsby

Tom Tom is one of the main characters and one of the first ones you meet. He is also rich from his money he inherited from his family also known as “old money”. He grew up to be a professional athlete in the field of polo and also went to school in Yale. He is also married to a girl named Daisy who he cheats on with Myrtle. In this story he is the antagonist to Gatsby by keeping him from getting Daisy. He is known to be unfaithful, prideful, and a hypocrite. He does this by going behinds his wife’s back to be with another girl. He is prideful because he will do anything from tarnishing what people are thinking of him. He is a hypocrite because he gets angry with Daisy for doing stuff with Gatsby, but does worse behind her back. "And what's more, I love Daisy too. Once in awhile I go off on a spree and make a fool of myself, but I always come back, and in my heart I love her all the time." This is a good example of a who he is showing that he is a liar and that he prideful. He tries using words like “spree” instead of an affair to make it seem almost harmless and not a big deal. Also if he truly loved her in his heart he wouldn't be out with other women. This shows Tom for who he really is.
We use a mirror being his driving force in his life representing pride and that he only out for himself. We put a no vacancy sign where his heart is to show that he truly doesn't have a heart or love for anyone.
Also at his feet representing his foundation and past we put books for Yale college, his polo stick for the sport, and old money to represent where he got his wealth from. Tom is the antagonist in the book. He plays as a barrier between Gatsby’s and Daisy’s love for each other. Fitzgerald is trying teach us that being prideful and deceitful can lead us to some dire situations. Leading up to losing a loved one who you truly care about all
