Tom Buchanan was my character of choice because of his interesting role as both a bystander in Jay Gatsby’s relentless pursuit for Daisy and his side story arc with Myrtle. His attitude towards minority groups in the 1920’s reflects the sense of superstition wealthy whites of the time could relate to due to the strong anti-African-American sentiment that they held.
