Immorality
Hands down, Myrtle is immoral. She has no class whatsoever. But let us not forget who the real bad guy is, Tom. If Tom never came into Myrtle's life, would she have cheated? Maybe, maybe not. At least Mrytle had the decency to keep her affair a secret from her husband. Not that she wasnt wrong, but tom had an affair once before and Daisy knew about that one too. On another subject entirely, Gatsby IS great! He did not deserve to die. He was kind and gentle and though Nick was a little iffy about him at first, he was a great guy. He was just a sucker in love. Love makes you do crazy things but I believe that if Gatsby honestly thought Daisy loved Tom and wanted to stay with her husband out of happiness, he would learn to let her go. A person that in love with somebody only wants their happiness, even if its not with them.
