Most of the characters in this book are materialistic but two characters that stands out the most is Tom and Daisy. “I couldn't forgive him or like him, but I saw that what he had done was, to him, entirely justified. It was all very careless and confused. They were careless people, Tom and Daisy – they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.” Daisy had just killed Myrtle, Tom’s mistress, and Gatsby doesn’t want anybody to know that Daisy was the one driving the car. Gatsby was killed for that reason because all he wants to do is protect Daisy. After all of that Daisy and Tom decided to leave without going to his funeral because they are irresponsible, reckless, and careless.They just let other people take care of the mess that they have caused. Tom and Daisy always seem to come back to the money; after all those affairs, they end up back into their money because that is the only thing that matters to them is money. Chapter
