Well, I find myself at chapter three in The Great Gatsby, still waiting to meet the mysterious Jay Gatsby. One character who is not so mysterious thus far would be Tom Buchanan.
From the second Daisy talked about the injuries on her knuckles, claiming it was Tom's fault (but an accident of course) I knew that either (a) it was no accident or (b) it was foreshadowing a future problem of abuse.
Later on, come to find out that Tom also has a mistress--Myrtle--that he forwardly introduces to Nick.
Then, come to find out, Tom punches Myrtle in the face (obviously no accident).
So basically Tom is scum. Well, any man that would hit a woman is scum (Chris Brown?).
I would just like to proclaim that Tom, Chris, others: I have zero respect for you. I'm sad that Chris Brown is still a very popular performer with a huge fan base. And Tom, I hope something very bad happens to you at the end of this book! Ladies, karma, make it happen.
