“‘I married him because I thought he was a gentleman’… ‘I thought he knew something about breeding, but he wasn’t fit to lick my show’” (Fitzgerald 34). I chose this quote because it shows how Myrtle Wilson feels about her marriage and why she’s having an affair with Tom Buchanan.
What I liked about this chapter was how it showed a little more detail about Tom Buchanan’s other life. This chapter explained who Myrtle Wilson was and why she was having an affair with Tom. Also, in this chapter Nick gets more of an inside scoop on the lives of the socialites of New York.
