Tom is hypocritical about being angry at the relationship between Gatsby and Daisy, because Tom doesn't love Daisy. Furthermore, this is contradictory because Tom is in love with Myrtle and wants to have an extramarital affair with her.

The Great Gatsby is a book that makes a serious criticism of the "American dream" and the high society of the USA and its insistence on living a life of appearances where wealth is the most important of all.

While reading the book, we learn that Gatsby falls in love with Daisy, who also loves him. The problem is that Daisy is married to Tom, a wealthy former athlete.
