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.

Bezzdna [24]

Explanation: Alliteration and personification

"..The soft,sun-kissed sand" is alliteration. It has  the same letter/sound at the beginning of the words. I think alliteration is used to enhance the adjectives (which are being used to enhance the noun).

Another one is  personification (The wind is not actually hissing).
