You, but not me? Jealousy!
Jealousy in people is something I do not pass up lightly. I don't know whether it's the unsatisfaction that one strives to fill or the ignorance where others may not recognize what they already have, but I've always tried very hard to hide any feelings of jealousy that may dwell within me. However, while I apply this to myself, it seems as though not Tom, but Daisy Buchanan comes to mind on the subject of jealousy.
Tom is having an affair on her with Myrtle Wilson and, as Jordan Baker told me, everyone knew about it. Now Daisy discovered that Gatsby was back into her life, living right next door to me, her cousin. Wouldn't this be the greatest opportunity to exact revenge on all that Tom has done to her? I think so. I think that Daisy is publically flirting with Gatsby and taking Tom to Gatsby's parties because she wants him to figure out and get jealous over her because of her jealousy already due to Tom's attention to Myrtle. It makes perfect sense and there's so much evidence to back it up. But if this were true, then Daisy would have been planning this up until the encounter with Gatsby and Tom at the hotel. Could this mean that her refusal to fully blow off Tom and leave him for Gatsby is due, in part, to her overall plan to get Tom to love her, and only her, again? You tell me...
