What are examples of middle class in The Great Gatsby?

Answer 1

The fact that Gatsby was killed by Wilson, rather than Tom, is and example. Not only is Gatsby's death unexpected (although slightly foreshadowed), but Tom would seem much more likely to kill him. Wilson isn't even a major character until the end of the book.

Answer 2

Daisy having an affair with Jay Gatsby, and he believing that the two of them would end up together but in the end she went back to Tom.

George Wilson killing Jay Gatsby because Tom told him that Gatsby killed his wife Myrtle, but it was actually Daisy that killed her.

Answer 3

In The Great Gatsby corruption is rampant in the upper class. It is extremely evident in the Buchanans. Tom Buchanan has several affairs and ignores his wife. Daisy Buchanan is materialistic and went through with her wedding because Tom gave her a pearl necklace.

Answer 4

If you just believe in your heart that Jebus is your Lord and Savior, go shoot a dog and run over an old lady. It'll make you feel better not only about yourself, but also about the sad situation that I find you in.
