Daisy Buchanan

What did you see in Tom over Jay?

  • Tom is a much more refined, sophisticated, mature man. Jay is new money, and still like a child.

Do you regret staying with Tom?

  • No, I was young and foolish when I loved Jay. Tom is a much better provider, and now that Myrtle is dead maybe he’ll be more faithful.

Do you feel guilty about killing Myrtle?

  • Slightly, but it was a necessary sacrifice for my greater good.

Myrtle Wilson

What drove you to be unfaithful?

  • I wanted a change. George is poor and Tom is rich and I’ve always wanted to have money.

Did you still love George?

  • George had his pros and cons, but deep down I’ll always have love for him.

Did you love Tom?

  • My relationship with Tom was pretty shallow. He has money, a nice house, and he’s very strong compared to George. I loved his wealth and the sex and nothing more.
