Another unique thing that I am noticing is the differing point of views the people in the book have. From Myrtle and the "sophisticated" people's point of view, being a woman is more like what we know today. However, to Daisy, being a woman is some what unfortunate, as we discussed in the last chapter. In this chapter, I found it very odd that Nick somehow ended up with this group of people. "...and his determination to have my company bordered on violence.(Fitzgerald, 24)" Nick was forced to go with these people even though later on, he essentially did nothing but talk slightly with Catherine. It seemed a little out of place and it seemed that Nick was befriending people that he did not initially plan on befriending.
We then see another side to Tom and Myrtle. We see that both people are miserable with their spouses. They want to get out of it but state that there is something holding them back. Then after a few drinks and a lot of commotion, it seems that we see a side of Tom that Daisy may also be seeing. He broke Myrtles nose and caused a bloody mess everywhere. This guy had always seemed a little sketchy to me.
