, Tom and Daisy are closely linked despite their marital difficulties? - ANSWER - Tom

go into the city and have a party at the apartment Tom rents for Myrtle and their
indiscretions


How does Myrtle react to Tom's arrival? - ANSWER - Myrtle seems exuberant and
vivacious. She walks sensually down the stairs; she's full of life and very sexual and
she makes passionate eye contact with Tom. She was clearly awaiting his arrival.


Describe George Wilson. How does he react to Tom's arrival? - ANSWER - George has
blond hair and light blue eyes; he is spiritless, anemic (lacking power, vigor, vitality,
or colorfulness; listless; weak), and only faintly handsome. He seems hopeful for
something that Tom may bring (we're led to believe it has something to do with a
car that Tom was going to sell him).


How does Myrtle behave as the party progresses? - ANSWER - Myrtle is no longer as
full of life (vitality) as she was when he first met her. Now she's displaying a hauteur
which is growing more and more over the night, displaying a fake superiority which
she has no right to claim
