What I Was Thinking When I Married Daisy...

Daisy was so lucky. She was marrying into wealth and she was marrying the most eligible bachelor. I mean I was also pretty lucky myself. Daisy was one of the most sought-after women and I was the man to get her. That is part of the reason I wanted to marry her. I was showing my dominance. While I excelled in both football and polo, getting the "it girl" showed every other guy that I was better than them. I guess we were both feeling pretty lucky at the point. I must admit that she did look awfully beautiful walking down that isle towards me. Although I'm not fully in love with her, we will make a pretty good couple. I know for a fact though, that she does love me. I positive that we have the potential to become a very influential couple in New York. However, when she got up to the alter to say our vows, she seemed off. This was supposed to be the happiest day of her life, yet she didn't seem the least bit joyful. I was going to ask her what was wrong, but I got so caught up in the festivities that I forgot. Later on she seemed fine so I figured that she was just letting her nerves get the best of her and I decided not to ask her if something was wrong. Marrying Daisy though, was a pretty good decision. Life with her is never really boring. There is always some level excitement about her.

    Tom is being his normal self-absorbed self, thinking that he was the best at everything. I bet that one day he will go off saying how he is better than me at golf, as if, he can’t even hit the ball. Tom is one of the wealthiest people in the entirety of the country, and Daisy was very lucky to be marrying him; however, I must agree with Tom that Daisy did seem off at the beginning of the wedding. Little does Tom know about the Lieutenant that Daisy fell in love with before he was sent off to the war. “Life with her is never really boring. There is always some level excitement about her” as if Tom really believed that, Tom’s entire family, along with entire community of Louisville knows that once he sees some other girl he will go off chasing her instead of being loyal to his wife.

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...

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...

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...
