I was feeling incredibly uncomfortable as I sat and listened to the "love triangle" argue in the hotel suite. Nick and I tried to leave, but Tom wouldn't let us. I didn't feel like listening to them bicker and fight about who loves who loves more. I was feeling terribly sad because I felt sorry for my friends. How could they put themselves through this twisted situation? Tom had a history of preying on woman like Myrtle. He had once gotten into an accident and there had been a maid in the car. He obviously had some sort of sexual relations with this woman. I feel sorry for Daisy and wish she would have left Tom a long time ago. Then again, Daisy shouldn't have advanced onto Gatsby, given that she was a married woman, with a child. Listening to them argue was putting me in a awful mood. I felt the awkwardness Nick was feeling as well. I was feeling extra sweaty in addition to the stifling heat in the scorching, summer air. I was afraid that Tom, Daisy, or Gatsby was going to bring me into the conversation and question me, or ask for my opinion. I wanted nothing to do with any of this. I would be there for my friend Daisy if she needed me and that is all.
I agree completely. It was an awkward situation to be put in and I wasn't sure whose side to take. I felt my cousin, Daisy, was wrong in pursuing Gatsby but then again who could blame her? Tom has been with countless women while married to Daisy. I felt bad for her but I don't agree with her decisions either. She is a mother and needs to start acting more her age. But then again Tom seemed to get away with all of his wrong doing which isn't fair either. I don't think either one of them are right in the situation and maybe they need to take some time apart to figure out what they want in their life together.
