Examples Of Justice In The Great Gatsby

In the book The Great Gatsby by Scott Fitzgerald, justice is a big problem and it never really seems like justice is ever found in the book. Justice is never really served in the Great Gatsby with false accusation and never really hitting people who deserve it the most. Tom is a big character in the book The Great Gatsby and he plays a big role in the story. One important thing is that he is married to Daisy, but he is also having an affair with a woman named Myrtle. Tom is also a big time polo player. He and Daisy are married and have a child together. But this doesn’t stop Tom from going to have an affair with Myrtle. " Tom's got some woman in New York( Fitzgerald 19)." This shows us that Tom is not the greatest person in the book because he has these things that he should be punished for but never finds justice for it. Being married to someone means that you should live your life with only them. Tom doesn’t see this and has affairs with other women and he never really gets affected by his doings.

We know that he is a friend of Gatsby’s and that he fixed the World Series."He's the man who fixed the World's Series back in 1919(Fitzgerald 78)." Meyer is another example of someone that has done some bad things and he never really finds any kind of trouble in the book. Meyer has these teeth on his jacket for cufflinks. People that are nice and generous humans usually don’t wear human teeth as cufflinks. We get a sense of greed and death when we see Meyer Wolfshiem. Justice never really comes to Meyer Wolfshiem. We know this because at the end of the book Meyer is still around and is asked to go to Gatsby’s
