Tom Buchanan seems like a bad person for cheating on his wife and disrespecting George. However, when Tom bought Myrtle a dog on page 28 he appears to turn a new leaf because this act implies he cares about Myrtle. Later on in the chapter Tom denotation of when it says “Tom Buchanan broke her nose with his open hand” it affects my reaction to this character because that act of abuse makes me think Tom is a truly heartless person. Also, it was implied that Tom was becoming a more likable person. Additionally, there is irony because Tom cheats on Daisy which is disrespectful however, Tom does not want Myrtle to say Daisy because it is disrespectful.
