However, Nick is now mad at George as he killed one of his few friends based on false pretenses. ]]> 2020-04-21 09:03:55 UTC https://padlet.com/22wtoxey1_1/tcpobwdndlywc0z5/wish/519647832 22wtoxey1_1 https://padlet.com/22wtoxey1_1/tcpobwdndlywc0z5/wish/519647836 In this scene we see that Wilson is unaware that his wife is seeing another man, (Tom), and thinks she leaves to go visit her sister when in reality, she is having an affair. This reveals that Tom is trusting of his unfaithful wife, and even gullible to believe that she leaves town so frequently to visit her
 sister and she never visits them. ]]> 2020-04-21 09:03:55 UTC https://padlet.com/22wtoxey1_1/tcpobwdndlywc0z5/wish/519647836 22wtoxey1_1 https://padlet.com/22wtoxey1_1/tcpobwdndlywc0z5/wish/519647837 Nick almost seems sorry for Wilson. He describes him as "a blond, spiritless man, anæmic and faintly handsome". Nick can sense the gloom in Wilson's eyes and is able to notice how a "damp gleam of hope sprang into his (Wilson's) light blue eyes" upon Tom and Nick's arrival. We can gather from this that Wilson's marriage is draining him.]]> 2020-04-21 09:03:55 UTC https://padlet.com/22wtoxey1_1/tcpobwdndlywc0z5/wish/519647837 22wtoxey1_1 https://padlet.com/22wtoxey1_1/tcpobwdndlywc0z5/wish/519647838 The intended effect on the audience is swayed towards sympathy for Wilson in this scene. We are quickly moved to feel bad for Mr. Wilson, as there appears to be nothing left of his marriage. He seems lifeless and "gone" which makes the audience feel almost a sense of disgust towards Tom, who is ironically "causing a row" in their marriage which he later blames Daisy for doing with Gatsby. ]]> 2020-04-21 09:03:55 UTC https://padlet.com/22wtoxey1_1/tcpobwdndlywc0z5/wish/519647838 22wtoxey1_1 https://padlet.com/22wtoxey1_1/tcpobwdndlywc0z5/wish/524767584 Nick really loved his wife, and not only would he do anything for his wife, but for all the people he loves. Moreover, it is also revealed that he cares about his wife enough to kill her murderer without any information except what he believes happened. Nick is seen as very bold character to go and kill his friend before even speaking to him. ]]> 2020-04-23 05:12:23 UTC https://padlet.com/22wtoxey1_1/tcpobwdndlywc0z5/wish/524767584 22wtoxey1_1 https://padlet.com/22wtoxey1_1/tcpobwdndlywc0z5/wish/524767856 This allows the audience to understand the type of character he  is, and what he would do for the people he loves. This scene is supposed to make the audience realize the kind of person Wilson is. The readers learned a lot about the kind of character Wilson is in this chapter. Moreover, from the beginning of chapter 8 we get to know Gatsby even better. The readers learned a lot about the characters in chapter 8. ]]> 2020-04-23 05:12:41 UTC https://padlet.com/22wtoxey1_1/tcpobwdndlywc0z5/wish/524767856
