Another social issue mentioned in the chapter is interracial marriage which is another reference, like the one in Ch. 1, of Tom's bigotry and racial intolerance.
Andy & Harry’s Case To start with, Andy was making loud and insulting remarks towards Harry which basically started all this. In reality, you have to touch someone to get charged with assault, if you put someone through some sort of fear, this is known as assault which Andy might get charged for. However, the court is going to analyse what Andy has against homosexual people as he was going against Harry and his boyfriend. An example of someone getting assaulted without getting touched is Ireland (1997) when a man kept ringing a woman’s house on a daily basis. The woman was scared, paranoid and she later became depressed.

Gatsby’s wealth failed to provide him with the things he wanted most: Daisy, social acceptance, and friendship. Scott Fitzgerald also shows us more examples of how wealth cant buy happiness by showing us Myrtle’s affair with Tom Buchanan. Another example of how wealth has made some people unhappy is Tom, who is only interested in money and he is unfaithful to his wife, Daisy. Scott Fitzgerald also shows us how cruel money can be and the negative consequences it could bring by being very descriptive about Myrtle’s

Nevertheless, the manager is, as usual, impatient bordering on the downright rude. He takes a phone call while he is barking out instructions to his new guest until Lord Melbury tells Basil that he does not have any first name since he is known as Lord Melbury.
