D.Wealth cannot buy friendship.

Gatsby's focus on wealth and the ostentatious lead many people to be "friends" with him. Rather they took advantage of his desire to belong to high society and enjoyed his lavish parties. In this scene, the speaker and his father are at Gatsby's funeral waiting for other's to attend. No one arrives. Even though Gatsby seemed to have people around him, no one was actually enough of a friend to attend his funeral. This further shows that wealth cannot buy friendship.

s protecting her own reputation the only reason Elizabeth wants Proctor to ‘break his promise’? page 1128
Orlov [11]

Elizabeth isn't worried about her reputation, she's worried about John Proctor's reputation because she cares a lot about what happens to him.

Although you haven't shown it, we can see from the context of your question, that it refers to the play "The Crucible."

When we read this play, we have access to the following information:

  • John and Elizabeth Proctor are a Puritan couple and they hire a housekeeper to help Elizabeth with the housework.
  • This maid is named Abigail and she and John have an affair.
  • When Elizabeth discovers this, she fires Abigail and agrees with John to try to rekindle the marriage.
  • John is very remorseless and decides to cut off contact with Abigail.
  • However, Abigail doesn't accept the way she was treated and as a way to get revenge on John, she decides to accuse Elizabeth of practicing witchcraft.
  • This causes Elizabeth to be arrested and tried, which possibly will lead to her being sentenced to death.
  • Elizabeth made John promise that he would never reveal the extramarital affair he had with Abigail, however, John ends up revealing this to the court in an attempt to save Elizabeth.

John was a very respected and admired man in Salem. Elizabeth knew that if he revealed the case of adultery, all his reputation would be gone. She cared a lot about her husband and would rather tarnish her reputation and be sentenced to death than risk John losing his reputation.

Importantly, "The Crucible" portrays the events that took place during the Salem Witch trials, showing the problems that this event of mass hysteria caused.
