having an affair. Daisy is oblivious even though she knows something fishy is going on with her husband. Unaware of his wifes past relationship with Jay
Gatsby, Tom breaks off when he finds out about Daisy and Gatsbys affair as well. In the end, jealousy is in each of the characters hearts and also regrets with
having an affair and cheating on their spouses. Jealousy with money and wealth is also another big theme in The Great
Gatsby. Most of the people are not content with what they have even if its already a luxurious life because they just want more and more. For example, the West Egg
people are jealous of the inherited wealth of the East Egg because they didnt have to work for it to earn it. While on the other hand, the West Egg people had to
obtain all their riches some way of working or illegal business. Nick is also another good example for jealousy. At first, he meets Gatsby and envies Gatsbys
mansion and luxurious life. Then later on, he accepts it and becomes very close to Gatsby. Although Nick has a very beautiful home, he wishes he had a little more
riches, though he is a content person and grateful for what he has. Jealousy plays a big part on the Great Gatsby because it truly shows the
true colors of people. Whether its jealousy of other peoples wealth and riches, or desiring some other elses spouse, we learn that we should be content with what
we were given and not envying others.
