His attitude stems from the way he was brought up by his parents, and the values they instilled in him. Throughout his life everything was handed to him on a silver platter. So Tom feels that world is at feet and that he can do whatever he wants to whoever he wants without having to suffer any repercussions.

The relationship of Tom Buchanan and his wife Daisy Buchanan is not all good. Tom treats his wife, not as a person but as an object. To him, Daisy is nothing but and possession.

Tom's is also very manipulative and he manipulate his women so that they are in a state of blaming it on them self. Though Myrtle knows that the way Tom treats her is wrong all she can see is the money and Tom through his actions says "I own you, I can do whatever I want to you and there isn't anything you can do about it".

Tom is indirectly responsible for the death of Myrtle, because if she had not been cheating on George he would not have a reason to lock her in the room and she would not have tried to escape. He is also responsible for Gatsby and George's deaths.

Tom is most definitely the antagonist in the story. His controlling nature comes from getting everything that he wanted while he was growing up.

He corrupted Daisy by marrying where there was no love, he had an affair with Myrtle, he cause George to crazy by having and affair with Myrtle which causes George to kill Gatsby and himself.

Tom is a hypocrite plain and simple. No matter how much he tries to conceal it, it shows. He makes the statement "I suppose the latest thing is to sit back and let Mr. Nobody from Nowhere make love to your wife. Well, if that's the idea you can count me out..." (137). He is saying that it is very wrong for Gatsby to have a relationship with his wife, but during all this he is having an affair with George Wilson's wife.
