Tom Buchanan V.S Jay Gatsby: Who is more corrupt? In F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, we are introduced to two characters pitted against each other in an intense rivalry full of wealth, social status, hatred and love. Jay Gatsby and Tom Buchanan are two characters that portray subtle differences in their personalities, but share many characteristics that contribute to both of their corrupt nature. Both of these characters, through dishonesty, moral values, and jealousy, are shown to be corrupt. However through further analysis, Tom’s motives, means and the ultimate consequences of his actions allow him to take a more corrupt role than Jay Gatsby in this novel.
This desire for success caused egotistical and self-indulgent behavior among some members of society who were willing to step on people’s toes or act wickedly to reach their goals.

Tom and Gatsby are prime examples as their actions are destructive to other characters. Both characters are affected by the power and moral decay of the era.

Iago shows Othello’s jealous nature when taking action of the plan of making it seem like Desdemona had an affair with Cassio. Iago shows that he has noticed Othello’s jealous nature from the quote, “O beware, my lord, of jealousy: it is the green-eyed monster which doth mock the meat it feeds on.” This shows Othello’s jealous nature by the way he takes action of the situation he believes that is going on.

counterfeiting, or concealing one's true feelings, is part of this motif. everyone seems to lie; good characters as well as evil ones engage in deceit as they attempt to conceal their feelings: beatrice and benedick mask their feelings for one another with bitter insults; don john spies on claudio and hero; don pedro and his 'crew' deceive benedick and beatrice. who hides and what is hidden? how does deceit function in the world of the play, and how does it help the play comment on life in general? a central motif in the play is trickery or deceit, whether for good or evil purposes.
