Tom is all the attributes and more. Worst of all he openly cheats on his wife without a care in the world.

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.

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.

He has cheated daisy their entire marriage but, when he is cheated he immediately shows compassion and love for daisy. He lacks consistency. ]]> 2019-04-05 17:53:34 UTC https://padlet.com/206559/8lmrjif6obw1/wish/349032589 206154 https://padlet.com/206559/8lmrjif6obw1/wish/349033513 2019-04-05 17:55:37 UTC https://padlet.com/206559/8lmrjif6obw1/wish/349033513 206154 https://padlet.com/206559/8lmrjif6obw1/wish/349035708 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.]]> 2019-04-05 17:59:50 UTC https://padlet.com/206559/8lmrjif6obw1/wish/349035708 206154 https://padlet.com/206559/8lmrjif6obw1/wish/349036917 2019-04-05 18:02:02 UTC https://padlet.com/206559/8lmrjif6obw1/wish/349036917 206154 https://padlet.com/206559/8lmrjif6obw1/wish/349037087 2019-04-05 18:02:24 UTC https://padlet.com/206559/8lmrjif6obw1/wish/349037087 sglass771 https://padlet.com/206559/8lmrjif6obw1/wish/350476892 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.]]> 2019-04-10 17:39:24 UTC https://padlet.com/206559/8lmrjif6obw1/wish/350476892
