Talk about relationships and marriages in the book. How sincere are they? What are they built on? What motivates each person?
If you need some more specific questions, here you go: Why do you think Tom refuses to divorce Daisy? What motivates Tom to cheat on his wife? Why did Myrtle marry George in the first place?

Tom refuses to divorce daisy because he " Loves her" but if that was true than why dose he cheat? i believe he cheats because he believes he is a higher level of human and daisy gives him the opportunity in every scene of the word because she knows whats going on but doesn't do anything about it.
Myrtle married George because she thought he was a "gentlemen" and thought he knew something about breading dogs so that she could have her own " pure breeds". She never actually loved him she loved the thought of what they could be and what she thought he was.
Relationships in this book is really only built on lies and dreams that don’t really come true it honestly makes for a big mess in the way that they become tangled and forced to get through it they barley survive and never really get to live.

Well he refused to divorce daisy because he says he loves her but if he loves her then he wouldn’t cheat on her. I think the reason why he cheats is because he thinks he is a human on a higher level, and daisy gives him opportunities, she knows what’s going on but she doesn’t do anything. Myrtle married George because she thought he was a gentlemen and thought he know something about breading dogs so that she can get her own breeds. She never really loved him, she was just using him. As far as the relationships go in this book it just seems like it’s built lies and dreams that’s not really true. It makes it seem like everyone has a dream and at the same time they get destroyed and it all comes to a big mess. So that’s how I think this relationship is in this book.
