While both the men are exceptionally wealthy they came into money very differently. Gatsby had to lie and cheat for his money in his later years of his life and Tom was born into prosperity. Tom makes it very clear to Gatsby in the novel that wealth is “in his blood,” causing Gatsby to work even harder to win back Daisy. Gatsby is a very friendly and
Especially when he had a conversation with Nick, he said, “If we don’t look out the white race—will be utterly submerged.” (13) Even his voice was “a gruff husky tenor, added to the impression of fractiousness he conveyed” (7) Tom wasn’t afraid to speak his opinion, but when it came to himself, he would just ignore it and keep his chin up held high. Throughout the novel it would appear Tom was very hypocritical as well. When he found out about Daisy and Gatsby’s romance, he could not handle his temper and would blow up on the both of them stating, “I suppose the latest thing is to sit back and let Mr. Nobody from nowhere make love to your wife. Well, if that’s the idea you can count me out…Nowadays people begin by sneering at family life institutions, and next they’ll throw everything overboard and have intermarriage between black and white” (130). Even though Tom himself was having an affair with Myrtle, he belittled his wife for falling for another man telling her that her actions would ruin a family, when in fact he was doing the same thing, but he was not in control of the situation also flaring his
Neal seems like a cruel evil man which is the way the Aboriginals would probably have viewed Whites.Neal believes blacks are worthless, he said that: "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing" at Act Four Scene Four, instead of trying to satifsify Aboriginals and help them. He is trying to harass them and make them ignorance, so they will not become the treat to him. Mr. Neal resents Sister Eileen’s input "bloody do-gooders" and threatens her when she speaks out "I could arrange a transfer for you to another settlement; perhaps Mulla Bulla on the edge of the Gibson Desert”. He is using his power to bend people to his will, the same way he uses his power to force young girls into sleeping with him. His cruel attitude which some Whites had makes it was acceptable and reasonable to use power to control the people who he thinks worthless or weak.
Both men are young and acquired their money at an early stage in their lives. Tom however acquired his money by simply inheriting it, “his family were enormously wealthy- even in college his freedom with money was a matter for reproach” (Fitzgerald 11). His birth into old money allows him to never work to gain his earnings; they are just given to him. Opposite to the means of how Tom acquires his wealth, Gatsby gains his wealth by working hard throughout his life. He gains his wealth by any means possible, from doing odd jobs, to breaking the law.
He is totally selfish because only him feel pleasure about having affair with Abigail. “Abby, I may think of you softly from time to time. But I will cut off my hand before I’ll ever reach for you again.” (Miller, 23) John says this to Abigail because it is the way that John can try to get through and end the relationship between them. John Proctor is coward because his behaviour does not match his words. He said that he does not want to reach Abigail anymore but he keeps talking to her.
When he says “meant”, it puts stress on the word and it’s meaning- he knows he is failing to do so. Their conversations are restricted only to the local happenings and their children. Elizabeth wants John to go Abigail and “tell her she’s a whore. Whatever promise she may sense – break it.” He grows angry at her suggestion because he feels she calls him “base” and having no moral standards. However, I think that Elizabeth is merely trying to find common
He keeps repeating “she’s purty.” George, realizing Lennie’s fascination, warns him to stay away from her. Lennie seems to be the only man who has a liking to Curley’s wife, except from Curley. He does not understand that she is Curleys property, so he does not listen to George and carries on talking to her. In the rest of the book this then leads on to disastrous events. 6.
Essay body paragraph Through Sophy’s relationship with Sam and Randolph the reader experiences Sophy’s pain and her freedom. Randolph is the one of the main causes of pain as he “would not [let Sophy] wed Samuel Hobson without his consent”. This is ironic because the child is telling the adult what to do when it should really be the other way around. Randolph is only forbidding Sophy because he thinks “it will degrade [him] in the eyes of all the gentlemen of England” if Sophy was to marry Sam. This is because Sam is in a lower class than Randolph, this will give Randolph a lower reputation than what he wants, this highlights that his concept of a gentleman is only based on class and wealth and not being considerate of others.
In Both texts, Nan Dear and Jess’ father experience discrimination and racism and that’s why barriers are put up, because they don’t want the protagonists to deal with the isolation and mistreatment. However, by doing this they’re putting up additional barriers to fitting in. In “Rainbows end” Nan Dear is always warning Dolly ““you watch who you’re mixing with. Hard to tell a good man from a bad. Bad one will promise you everything, then do the straight opposite just like that” we can tell that she is talking from experience and she says it how it
