So Myrtle, in an effort to be with Tom, her American Dream, was hit and killed by the car that belonged to him, but was driven by the wife Tom cheated on with her and the man who loves his wife; who that very day Tom accused of having an affair with, hypocrtically, because Tom was, himself, cheating on her with the girl she just ran over… That’s so ironic I didn’t even fully understand it.

Well, I think it’s safe to say that Myrtles character is about as developed as it’s going to get. Daisy is becomming less and less likable; she is starting to come off as selfish and her voice is “full of money.” And it’s clear that Gatsby would do anything for her.

Again, The Valley of Ashes is a bad place. Whenever we go down there, someone gets killed or cheated on or something. Grey is a very bad color in this book, but it is also a very real color. Pink, again, is used to describe Daisy.
