Finally Gatsby is driven to lie solely to possess a woman for whom he feels intense passion. ... “[…] and you could see a great pack of muscles shifting when his shoulder moved under his thin coat. ... He lies solely to flaunt it in other people’s faces that do not have the courage to question him. ... Gatsby is wrongfully blamed for Myrtle’s death when Tom knows it was Daisy who was driving, so when Nick was feeling remorseful Tom sums up his lack of regret for being dishonest when he says “You’re crazy, Nick, [c]razy as hell. ... His upbringing doesn’t allow him to approve of the behavior he sees around him: Tom’s affair with Myrtle, Daisy’s affair with Gatsby and Jordan cheating at golf. He believes they all have bad morals and yet he is the one who reunites Daisy with Gatsby knowing that she’s married. ...
