Why does the author give Tom a mistress? In what ways do you predict that this relationship might drive the novel's plot? (The Great Gatsby)

To underscore Tom's moral depravity and contrast him with his wife Daisy's character, the author provides him a lover named Myrtle Wilson.

How do you think Tom and Myrtle's relationship might influence the story's plot?

The tension and struggle that is generated by Tom and Myrtle's relationship serve as another story device in the book. Tom's quest for personal fulfilment and Myrtle's desire to leave her working-class upbringing behind drive them to act recklessly, which ultimately leads to catastrophe. The relationship between Tom and Daisy is also strained as a result of the affair, and Myrtle's connection with the Buchanans results in a confrontation that ends in her death. In general, the novel's themes of disillusionment, the American Dream, and corruption are sparked by the connection between Tom and Myrtle.

Read the following paragraph and select the correct answer.

Shaking off from my spirit what must have been a dream, I scanned more narrowly the real aspect of the building. Its principal feature seemed to be that of an excessive antiquity. The discoloration of ages had been great. Minute fungi overspread the whole exterior, hanging in a fine tangled web-work from the eaves. Yet all this was apart from any extraordinary dilapidation. No portion of the masonry had fallen; and there appeared to be a wild inconsistency between its still perfect adaptation of parts, and the crumbling condition of the individual stones. In this there was much that reminded me of the specious totality of old woodwork which has rotted for long years in some neglected vault, with no disturbance from the breath of the external air. Beyond this indication of extensive decay, however, the fabric gave little token of instability. Perhaps the eye of a scrutinizing observer might have discovered a barely perceptible fissure, which, extending from the roof of the building in front, made its way down the wall in a zigzag direction, until it became lost in the sullen waters of the tarn. (from "The Fall of the House of Usher," by Edgar Allan Poe)
