says to Tom, "You're revolting, do you know why we left Chicago? I'm suprised they

Tom is a good example of not knowing when to stop. He was born into wealth

not shine only for Gatsby, Myrtle was no doubt caught by this beacon in Tom. To Myrtle

stumbles into the library where Owl Eyes is admiring Gatsby's books, "It's a bona fide

she would be his completely. I do not think that he knew when to stop.
