Tom and Myrtle fight around midnight primarily due to Tom's aggressive and domineering nature, which is exacerbated by alcohol. During the confrontation, Myrtle taunts Tom by mentioning his wife, Daisy, leading to a violent outburst from Tom, who reacts by hitting Myrtle and asserting his control over her. This altercation underscores the tensions in their illicit relationship and the underlying themes of power and class in "The Great Gatsby."
