Jealousy






In the book, The Great Gatsby there is a lot of jealousy between people. Not only in the book was there a lot of jealousy but in the 1920s was the time of jealousy. Everyone would try to out do and be better then the rest which created drama between a lot of people back in those days. This also shows and refleacts in the Great Gatsby. Tom Daisy's husband shows his jealousy of Gatsby by thinking his just a bootlegger and nothing he says he does is true. Tom ends up investigating in Gatsby and his buisness and soon fineds out the truth about him. There is also issue over money in the book and the fact that it brings jealousy to a lot of people but in the end it doesnt truely buy happieness. The way Daisy marries Tom because of his money but is still never over Gatsby shows the way money is involed in the story and how in the end Daisy ends up falling back in love with Gatsby.
