Tom wrecked into a wagon and ripped one of the front wheels off of his car. He had one of the maids of the Santa Barbara Hotel riding with him in his car. This implies that Tom was cheating on his wife, Daisy. The whole incident was written up in the paper, including the fact that the maid was riding with him. The book doesn't mention if Daisy finds out, but she most likely would have.

∙ 12y agoTom is described as abusive, hostile and unfriendly, as well as arrogant and self-assured. He is described by Nick as even unpleasant to look at, and gazing at others with a "paternal contempt". His body is strong and cruel looking. He treats Daisy callously, like a possession, and speaks to her meanly. But he is able to be freely malicious physically with his mistress Myrtle, because she is the complete opposite of Daisy - she isn't a fragile and rich Southern belle, and Tom allows his aggression to show physically more with her. Overall he symbolizes coldness of the human heart.
