Oh boy! Tom knows what's up as Fitzgerald wrote, "She had told him that she loved him, and Tom Buchanan saw. He was astounded. His mouth opened a little, and he looked at Gatsby, and then back at Daisy as if he had just recognized her as some one he knew a long time ago (119)." This makes things interesting in The Great Gatsby. Tom was already a little suspicious of Gatsby, but now that he is aware that he and his wife got a little thing going on he is bound to let his temper loose. This was bound to happen though. How else would this story get interesting? Something crazy had to happen.
One thing that irked me was why Tom let Gatsby and Daisy ride together. He clearly is not happy with what is going on between them, yet he lets them ride alone in Tom's car. That whole situation just confused me. To add to the high drama going on, Wilson just discovered Myrtle's affair and he talked obviously to Tom about it. Wilson fell into a bad illness because of this, so now he is in a bad situation. Wilson wants to move west with Myrtle to forget the affair which apparently is how people solved affairs back then. It seems like this seems to be the trend. Nick moved because of a failed engagement and Daisy and Tom moved from Chicago most likely because of an affair.
