THE GREAT GATSBY - WEEK 3 - CHAPTER 2

THE GREAT GATSBY by F. Scott Fitzgerald

I want to start off by saying I added a few more items of interest for chapter 1 in the comments section of last week's post. Just some short and sweet bullet points to be aware of.

Onto Chapter 2-

The first thing I want to draw attention to is some symbolism and dramatic irony in this chapter. Did anyone catch anything?

Thoughts on the dilemma that Nick ends up in when Tom wants him to meet his mistress? Has anyone ever been in a tough situation like that? I have. It's a hard spot to be in meeting the mistress of someone you consider a friend while their wife is at home taking care of the kids.

Can I just say poor George Wilson?

Why do you think Tom slaps Myrtle for saying Daisy's name?

Comment on anything else you would like. I'll add some of my answers in the next few days after you've had a chance to comment.
