Therefore Crooks’ relationship with Curley’s wife is important in the book. Additionally, Crooks’ relationship with Lennie shows us how much Lennie relies on George. For example when Crook’s says ‘S’pose George don’t come back no more.’ The reader sees how upset Lennie gets, he almost gets violent with Crooks.

We are quickly acknowledged to the fact that the man is a very loving and caring person, and so was his wife. However, as much as he trusted his wife and loves her, she does not feel the same way: " Having gone out in the rain one day, in order to deceive her lover, she caught cold and died." (153). Quickly we realize that his wife was not as loving, caring, or faithful as him because she was going to deceive her man had it not been such a dreadful outcome, her death. The man always thought his partner loved him back equally as much as he loved her, perceiving almost a perfect relationship to the reader.

Gatsby’s personal characteristic of being a loyal person contributes to his greatness as an individual and character in Fitzgerald’s novel. When Daisy in a confused and frantic state does not realize that she is going too fast and accidentally kills a woman, Gatsby takes the blame for her mistake. He is completely loyal to him even though she at the end lets Gatsby take fall for her and chooses her husband’s love over Gatsby’s love. The car she was driving was called a “death car as the newspapers described it and didn’t stop; it came out for the gathering darkness, wavered tragically for a moment and then disappeared around the next bend (Fitzgerald 100).” When Nick Caraway confronts Gatsby about the accident and asks Gatsby “was Daisy driving?” and Gatsby confesses that “Yes, but of course I’ll say that I was.
