Tom Buchanan is the type of person that will do anything to save his own life or reputation. It is at this point that Nick is realizing how corrupt Tom is. The worst part of Tom’s accusation is that he didn’t see it as a way to help his friend‚ Wilson‚ he saw it as an opportunity to help himself. He didn’t feel guilty about it‚ was even happy about this revelation because by telling Wilson this‚ he was taking care of his wife’s lover‚ Gatsby‚ and his late mistress’s husband.

is foreshadowing Myrtle’s death. At the end of the story Myrtle dies and this greatly affects Wilson. He realizes that life is not worth living without Myrtle and that he will never have happiness and joy if she is not with him. This is the difference between the rich and the poor in this novel. Wilson did not need money to live life with happiness his wife brought him happiness and she means more to him then any money. This just shows how money is not the reason for one’s happiness.

While it could be read that way‚ my own view is that Wells packages the paragraph about eagle faced man’s actions immensely with a deeper meaning of society in this particular moment of time. With the abundance of bad people in ratio to the good‚ the eagle faced man is smart to keep his belongings to himself and to gather them quickly by any means necessary and to fight the brother.

Gatsby gets rich just to get Daisy. The satire shown is that no matter how much money Gatsby has he is never happy and all he needs is Daisy but Daisy will not like him unless he is rich.

The basis of writing this is to show the major similarities and differences between the novel and the movie.
