I definitely agree with your assessment of Tom--he certainly seems to care most about himself and his own happiness. And I don't know if we met a bigger hypocrite in anything we read this year. I guess Willy Loman could come close. Actually, I was wondering as I read this where your class connection was--that was definitely on the instructions. Thanks for getting this together.

Tom repeatedly has affairs and cheats while being in a relationship with Daisy. He is very greedy and bossy. He cheated on Daisy without a second thought, but the thought of Daisy being with someone else enraged him. He criticized Gatsby for cheating despite the fact that he has cheated multiple times.

Tom continuously lies about cheating throughout the book, but he seems so against it when someone else is in question. He has cheated daisy their entire marriage but, when he is cheated he immediately shows compassion and love for daisy. He lacks consistency.

The fact that Tom goes off and has affairs and then comes back to Daisy.

He is unfaithful.

Has a problem with Gatsby and Daisy even though he has affairs.

He also committed adultery with Gatsby's mistress and had two kids. One of them was a tard.

Tom seems to act like he doesn't care

He calls Gatsby Mr. Nobody from Nowhere.

He acts like he doesn’t cheat.

He is a huge hypocrite.

Although Tom repeatedly cheats and has affairs he explains how, "I suppose the latest thing is to sit back and let Mr. Nobody from Nowhere make love to your wife. Well, if that's the idea you can count me out… (7.229) This makes little sense because of the fact that he has gone against that exact statement. He is extremely inconsistent

He nodded sagely. "And what's more, I love Daisy too. Once in a while I go off on a spree and make a fool of myself, but I always come back, and in my heart, I love her all the time." (7.251-252)

He treats Gatsby very poorly before truly knowing him. He makes assumptions about people before he even gets a chance to know their real self.

hypocrite, cheater, fake, jealous. Tom is all the attributes and more. Worst of all he openly cheats on his wife without a care in the world. When the one time everything in hids world isn't going to plan he does everything in his power to control it
