Answer 8

Tom and Daisy are both kind of selfish, right? But how are their personalities different? I just started reading today, and I can say that I've never been mad at a book until this book was thrown infront of me. Lol @Miss.SweetiePie

Answer 9

lol they both are the only way their personalities are different is by tom actually having an affair...he thinks that he is top priority that he is above everyone else, he degrates others he even hits on Mrs. Wilson... daisy on the other hand is kind but is selfish she teachers her daughter that being snobby is okay in a sort of way,
