The question i have at the beginning of this novel is, what is Nick Carraway's neighbor reaching out towards on the end of his dock and why is he so mysterious about it. Also why isn't daisy even bringing up Toms “lover”.
I find it interesting that daisy is keeping everything about tom extremely low. I believe that this is insight on what gender inequality was like in the roaring 20’s. This type of disrespect towards daisy shows how men degraded women and treated them like objects they own. F. Scott Fitzgerald uses daisy as symbol of women in the very close future by showing how she begins (by choice) to go and cheat on Tom with Gatsby, by daisy doing this it shows women that they can go out and become the powerful force they can be without their abusive husband.
My opinion on Nick is that he is a down to earth man who is very smart and in touch with the world around him.Tom, is an arrogant man who has had everything handed to him in life and does not respect his family whatsoever. My opinion on daisy is that she is a very two sided person due to confusion of her situation. Daisy is trying to put up a front to show that she has a perfect life but in reality she hates it. jordan baker is a normal woman during the time who is starting to get comfortable around daisy and daisy is rubbing off on her.
my prediction is that tom is going to cut things off with his wife and go and live with the woman/man that called him during dinner. by what jordan said it sounds like this has been going on for a while and tom already seems like a huge scumbag so i think that he's going to just leave daisy and have her do her own thing.
