- - - - What I mean of this is how the relationship quickly ended due to how Jordan takes Myrtles death.
  - - - Despite them being cousins, they are somewhat flirty
  - - - Even though the last two things were negative, eventually they grow a good friendship but gets cut short due to Gatsby's death
- - - - Married Tom
      - Has an affair with Gatsby
      - Selfish
  - - - George
        
        Works all the time
        
        George is having to work all the time to survive in poor conditions as well as keeping up with Myrtle's standards of fashion
      - Myrtle
        
        Has an affair with Tom
        
        Her social standing equates with her appearence
  - - - Jordan
        
        Selfish
        
        Self-centered
      - Tom and Daisy
        
        Selfish
        
        Self-centered
        
        Spoiled
    - - Gatsby
        
        Focused
        
        The only reason Gatsby wanted to become wealthy was to have to guts to speak to Daisy, since her taste of men consists of being really wealthy
        
        Over confident
- - - - Both Daisy and Tom have an affair but they never really admitted it. Eventually, both of them figured out they were both having an affair behind each other's backs
  - - - Even though Myrtle is George's wife, she still hates him and regrets marrying him. She still stays with him though because Tom would not divorce Daisy due to her religion
    - - George loves Myrtle but Myrtle hates George
    - - George locks Myrtle up in their apartment because he found out about the affair and did not want Myrtle running off with the man
- - - - Mentally
      - Physically
    - - Despite the abuse in the relationship, both are still happy that they are together since they both 'cannot stand their significant other'
  - - - Their relationship never was finished. It was always interrupted, from the war and Gatsby's unexpected death
    - - Gatsby was more obsessed with Daisy's character from 5 years ago rather than who she was now
    - - Yes in the novel, they portray Daisy and Gatsby as 'in love' but keep in mind, in the novel, they do explain that Daisy is money-driven and did marry Tom for his wealth. I believe that Daisy fell in love with Gatsby for his money, not for who he is
- - - - Somewhat closer yet still distant
    - - Distant
