Who is the Worst Character in the Great Gatsby

So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past. It is the 1920's, or the roaring 20's. At that time, a lot of people were thriving and the economy was booming, the stock market was going up, and it was a time of prosperity. There were a lot of wealthy men at that time, and they can be very unpredictable. They can be a caring gentlemen, or abusive and controlling to women. There were a lot of parties hosted by wealthy people, with jazzy music.

The Great Gatsby is taken place during that decade. Most of these characters in the Great Gatsby are unique and unpredictable at the same time. Tom Buchanan is one of those wealthy people. Both Tom and Gatsby are fighting over Daisy. Although Tom and Gatsby are fighting over Daisy, Tom has a bad reputation and he is hated more. He has a bad reputation for cheating on his wife and he doesn't want his wife to be with Gatsby.

Tom has a bad reputation throughout because he cheats on his wife. Both Tom and Daisy have a very poor and unstable relationship. There are times where Tom was cheating on his wife and where he is abusive to his wife. One reason is that he has an affair with his mistress, Myrtle. He also has an affair with her. I first met Tom Buchanan's mistress. The fact that he had one was insisted upon wherever he was known. His acquaintances resented the fact that he turned up in popular restaurants with her and, leaving her at a table, sauntered about, chatting with whomsoever he knew (Fitzgerald 24). Tom only cares about the wealth and money he has. This is an example of Tom cheating on his wife. Tom treats his wife and other women like it is just another object. He also takes his marriage for granted. There are times where Tom was caught cheating throughout the story. Daisy is in Tom's possession. Daisy knows that she is being cheated low-key upset with him. This is the spark of the conflict of Gatsby and Tom.
