What I Was Thinking When Gatsby Declared His Love...

I knew something was off about that Jay Gatsby, but I certainly wasn't expecting this. Out of everyone he could love, it had to be my wife. He always threw large parties so why couldn't he just find a wife there? This is insane. He then almost forced Daisy to admit her love for him. Well, at least, that is how it seemed to be. I was just waiting for her to say that she loved him. And then she did. I almost didn't believe her. Daisy then tried to convince me that she loved both Gatsby and I. That was impossible though. Why couldn't she just be loyal? Yes, I had a mistress but I never claimed to love both her and Daisy. It was a completely different scenario. What was wrong with me that would cause Daisy to love someone else? Was it Gatsby's newfound wealth that attracted her to him? I was just as, if not more, wealthy than Gatsby. I began to dwell on it a little more and I remember Daisy acting weird when Jordan Baker mentioned his name. She seemed off. It was almost as though she was reliving something in her past. My assumption is that he was a past fling, possibly even a past love. I thought she would be able to put that in the past, but I guess not. I hope Daisy soon comes to her sense and realizes that she still, and only, loves me. The history we have is undeniable. After all, she married me, and not Gatsby.

    Do not act make yourself sound like you're a victim... you've been having an affair for the longest time and I have been stupid and continued to stay loyal to you, until Gatsby. I completely ignored the fact that you were always getting phone calls and going out all the time without me, but I just completely ignored it to avoid problems. It's wrong of me to claim my love to Gatsby while still being married to you, but you are far from perfect too.

    Daisy would have been better off with Gatsby. I wish she had the balls to just leave you and go to Gatsby. I believe she loved you at one point but not anymore, she is just scared of you. You don't deserve her. She deserves someone who wouldn't cheat on her, someone who would love her. Gatsby tried to do just that, but you intimidated her too much for her to leave. If you really loved her you would let her be happy with Gatsby, whom she even told you she loved. You're an ass for not letting Daisy live her life.
    Bye bitch,
    Jordan Baker

Why I Hit Myrtle...

Daisy, Daisy, Daisy. I just kept hearing her name and I was tired of it. That is when I snapped. I do regret hitting her. A gentleman should never hit a woman, but I was fed up with her. She needed to learn to keep her and Daisy separate. She was just my mistress, not my wife. Why couldn't she get that through her head? She didn't need to mock me by saying Daisy's name over and over. Slapping her seemed to be the only necessary option but I didn't think the consequences through. I guess I should have thought that through better, but I didn't. When people don't do as I ask, or push me, I push back, and they pay the consequences. Slapping Myrtle wasn't the best option, but it did shut her up. It's not like I go around saying George multiple times so why can't she just hold her mouth. Well I guess now she won't say Daisy's name. I just hope that I didn't ruin whatever it was that we had. After all, she should forgive me. She clearly likes me...

Why I Let Daisy Drive Home With Gatsby...

You are probably asking yourself why I would let Daisy and Gatsby go home together? After all, I did just find out that they both had an affair and that they both apparently love each other. Any smart man would not have let his wife drive home with the man he knew that she had an affair with. So why would I let Daisy go home with Gatsby? The answer to this is actually quite simple. I know that Daisy doesn't love Gatsby like she loves me. What we have, the memories we have created, out-weigh the short moments that her and Gatsby had. I can tell that she loves me more. It was also a way of showing Gatsby that I was more powerful than him. I held more power over Daisy than he did, and I was going to exercise it. Anyone else may have seen it as an unwise decision but Gatsby knew what I was getting at. He knew that this was a sign of my power. By letting Daisy go with him, it showed that I knew Daisy loved me enough to not go behind my back with him. Not only was a more powerful in soci...
