Conflict

The main conflict has become more noticeable as we've read the book. the main conflict is, really, between three character; Gatsby, Tom, and Daisy. This conflict is somewhat of a love triangle; Daisy loves Tom when she is with him, Daisy loves Gatsby when she is with him, and when Daisy is with the both of them she acts odd. She is very indecisive and Gatsby asks who she loves more right in front of her husband. When he does that, Daisy is questioning herself even though earlier that day, or earlier within the book she claims that she really loves Gatsby. '''Your wife doesn't love you,"' "said Gatsby." "'She's never loved you. She loves me'(130)." With Gatsby saying this, the argument is fired up. Tom and Gatsby are so caught up in arguing with who is right that they forget Daisy and how she feels. When Daisy finally says something, she is almost cut off because the discussion of who loves who is brought up again.
