The paradox is that although its understandable that he is upset because his wife was having an affair, its simply cynical of him when considering the fact that he was having an affair of his own with Myrtle.

Answer:

Tom is hypocritical about being angry at the relationship between Gatsby and Daisy, because Tom doesn't love Daisy. Furthermore, this is contradictory because Tom is in love with Myrtle and wants to have an extramarital affair with her.

Explanation:

The Great Gatsby is a book that makes a serious criticism of the "American dream" and the high society of the USA and its insistence on living a life of appearances where wealth is the most important of all.

While reading the book, we learn that Gatsby falls in love with Daisy, who also loves him. The problem is that Daisy is married to Tom, a wealthy former athlete.

Tom and Daisy's wedding is a wedding of appearances, as they both don't love each other and Tom is in love with Myrtle who is married to another millionaire.

Daisy and Gatsby start a relationship, while she is still married to Tom. Even though he does not love her and wants to have a lover, Tom is possessed of anger when he discovers Daisy's extramarital affair, because he does not want society to see him as a man. betrayed by his beautiful wife and does not want his reputation to be tarnished.

I’m the “first seven years” by Bernard Malamud, how is the climax of the story also and epiphany
s2008m [1.1K]

At the beginning of the story, Feld, the shoemaker, yearned for his daughter to marry a man with a promising and wealthy future, so she could live a happy life. Later in the story, after two dates between both Miriam (her daughter) and Max (a young student), Feld was told by Miriam that she was not interested in Max, given her materialistic nature. Feld did not understand her reason at the time, but didn't give it much thought.

Near the end of the story, Feld realized Sobel's (his assistant) feelings for her daughter, but wasn't very comprehensive about them, given Sobel's old age and poor living conditions.

While watching Sobel's scorn after having his desires represed and considering Miriam could like Sobel in return, Feld had his epiphany: He grew comprehensive of Sobel's endurance to escape a land at war and to find any humble source of sustain available. Considering this hardship and his efforts to read books to gain interest from Miriam, Feld understood these endeavors were far more attractive and valuable to Miriam than that of a life of riches with Max. <u>Feld learned about humble love.</u>
