The Great Gatsby Essay In the novel, The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Nick Carraway, the narrator, recently moved from the Midwest to New York to start his career in the bond business. Nick’s cousin, Daisy Buchanan, lives in the aristocratic neighborhood of East Egg with her husband Tom Buchanan. Tom is cheating on Daisy with George Wilson’s wife, Myrtle Wilson. Nick’s neighbor is Jay Gatsby, a man who almost married Daisy but decided to leave her to enlist in the war. Since Daisy was so desperate to get married, she married Tom instead of waiting for Gatsby.
(38) In this passage we learn that the wife of Mr. Wilson, a hardworking and loving individual, is Tom’s mistress. She betrays the love of her husband by cheating on him with Tom, which is evident when Tom says, “I want to see you,” and she agrees, “All right.” “She nodded and moved away from him just as George Wilson emerged with two chairs from his office door,” shows that she further betrayed his trust by planning a meeting with Tom while her husband was out of the room. Early in chapter seven of the novel we are introduced to the third act of betrayal. Nick and Mr. Gatsby had just arrived at the Buchannan residence and sat down with Jordan and Daisy. At this point it was apparent that Tom was not in the room due to a phone call with George Wilson.
We are introduced from the beginning of Raymond Carver’s Cathedral to a man that seems to be perturbed and agitated. The husband “ wasn’t enthusiastic about [Robert] visit, he was no one [he] knew. And his being blind bothered [him].” (20) He is uninterested in the relationship that Robert has with his wife. (21) The only reason he knows any thing about Robert is because she told him, he didn’t ask and didn’t care to know. We see how selfish and self centered the narrator is as he has thoughts of, “this blind man” “coming to sleep in [his] house” and telling his wife “maybe [he] could take him bowling” (22).
The two men are headed to New York when Tom insists they get off the train in order for Nick to "meet [his] girl." The two men proceed to a car repair garage owned by George Wilson, a "spiritless man" who is also Myrtle's husband. Tom chats briefly with Wilson about business matters. Myrtle, a sensuous, fleshy woman in her middle thirties, joins the men. Tom quietly informs her he wishes to see her and so she arranges to meet them shortly, leaving her husband under the pretense of visiting her sister in New York.
