The Great Gatsby
Key passages in The Great Gatsby unlock and hint on what is to come in the future of the book. "They were careless people, Tom and Daisy – they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together and let other people clean up the mess they had made . . . ."(179). This was an accurate description of the way Tom and Daisy acted. They were constantly neglectful of the way they behaved and when they realized they were wrong, they would retreat to their money. They were always mean to others and other people always had to pay for their mistakes. The actions and emotions of Tom and Daisy led to the death of Gatsby. Carelessness was one of the biggest themes in this book.
