Question

Is tom Buchanan honestly?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Most definitely! Tom Buchanan is your typical upper class snob. He married Daisy because she was the Golden Girl of the American Dream. He would never ever divorce her because having Daisy assures his status in society. He blatantly indulges in an affair with Myrtle purely for sexual gratification. He has no intention of marrying her and he clearly has no respect for her because he has no qualms in punching her when she takes the name of his wife. He's part of the reason Gatsby is killed because he tells Myrtle's husband that Gatsby was the owner of the car that ran over his wife. He just looks out for his own interests throughout the novel. He doesn't care at all and like Nick Caraway says, both he and Daisy retire to where people like them are rich together, smug and safe behind their wealth and status.
