The Great Gatsby
by F. Scott Fitzgerald
“Making a short deft movement, Tom Buchanan broke her nose with his open hand” (Fitzgerald, 37). The previous quote surprised me. I never thought Buchanan would get this angry and hit a woman. I would think he would have a lot more self-control. He knows he is strong. He knows he has a temper. He should have had more self-control. To make matters worse, he hit the nose of Mrs. Wilson, his mistress. I was also surprised that this was not a widespread rumor. I am even more shocked that Daisy did not hear it. Tom needs to be more careful. Otherwise, he will cause major problems for himself.
