Tom insists that Daisy go home with Gatsby because it shows he has won the battle for her and has no fear that Daisy will leave him. It is a way of thumbing his nose at Gatsby., and daisy buchanan.
Gatsby fails to convince Daisy Buchanan to leave her husband, Tom, because Tom reveals how Gatsby made his fortune. Daisy tells Tom that she is going to leave him, but then Tom says he found out Gatsby and his crony, Meyer Wolfsheim, purchased a bunch of drug-stores so that they could sell grain alcohol over the counter.
Why did Tom let Daisy go back with Gatsby?
They were gone, without a sound, snapped out, made accidental, isolated like ghosts even from our pity. I think that Tom does this because he is arrogant and self assured. When he tells Daisy to go with Gatsby, he says that Gatsby knows that their “flirtation” is over.
You could be asking “Why does Gatsby insist that Daisy never loved Tom?”
Because that is a crucial piece to his vision of he and Daisy being together, that there was never an interruption in their love. What happens on the way home from New York? Daisy hits Mrytle and kills her. How does Tom react to the death of Myrtle? He is shocked and blames Gatsby.
This is Tom’s style. Having humiliated both Daisy and Gatsby he “lets” them return together in their platonic relationship. Oh, this certainly shows that Tom is a dominating jerk who wants control in all his relationships.
No, she does not. Gatsby is not actually in love with Daisy either. He is in love with the idea of Daisy. Daisy is materialistic. She stays married to her rich husband even though she is aware of his affairs. Out of convenience. He offers her financial security and social status. Gatsby is a way to get back at her husband for cheating on her.
What happens to Daisy and Gatsby at the end of the novel?
As Gatsby attempts to defend himself, but only the “dead dream fought on as the afternoon slipped away.” Daisy loses her courage to stand up to Tom and Gatsby is defeated.
What do you think about Tom’s character and his relationship with Daisy?
There has just been a huge argument after Gatsby attempts to get Daisy to deny her love for Tom. Daisy backs away and Gatsby is defatted. As to rub both their noses in this humiliation, Tom tells Daisy to return with Gatsby. This is Tom’s style.
What is Tom rubbing on Gatsby’s face?
When he tells Daisy to go with Gatsby, he says that Gatsby knows that their “flirtation” is over. So I think he is arrogantly rubbing Gatsby’s face in the idea that Daisy is lost to him. As far as the end of the chapter goes, Tom and Daisy are sitting together.
