Through out the first few chapters of the novel, The Great Gatsby, the reader already becomes aware of the disillusionment the author, F. Scott Fitzgerald faces with society. It was the twenties, a changing society, a society of money, crime, music, and so much more. This disillusionment Fitzgerald faces, is portrayed through the characters of Tom, Daisy, and Jordan, and is briefly seen in Gatsby’s party. Tom Buchanan is apparently seen as a cruel sexist and racist person. There are many men like this in society, and Tom represents most of them. He abuses both Daisy and Myrtle, from Daisy’s bruised knuckles to Myrtles bloody nose.
