The purpose of George Wilson is to reveal the vast gap between the rich and poor within society. He is the polar opposite of Tom Buchanan in that one is extremely wealthy and the other is living in poverty. Wilson is also a manipulation to make the reader dislike Tom further as his wife chooses to have an affair for money and status and views Wilson as a failure because he was never able to give her this. The famous quote 'the world and his mistress' epitomizes the corruption in society, exposed by George Wilson, Myrtle Wilson and Tom Buchanan.
