Why do we hate, why do we loveAfter watching this video I feel that it does relate and has some type of correlation with The Great Gatsby. In the video it says that you can have romance with one person, love/lust for another person, and have attachment to another. In the book it seemed as if Daisy had love and lust for Gatsby and attachment towards Tom. Although she had the lust for Gatsby, Daisy's attachment towards Tom was much stronger. Also in the video she had a study and asked several people that were in love " would you die for your spouse". I just feel that Tom wouldn't die for daisy and vise versa. They are both cheating on each other which makes me feel that their love is not as strong as it should be. Another comparison i saw was that she said in the video that the lady a girl was asked if her world revolved around her spouse. and she responded "yes". I feel that Tom world is not revolved around Daisy, he drinks, and cheats on Daisy. In the video she was talking about depression and how they people she studied took anti-depression pills, drank alcohol, and smoked. I feel that Tom had a little depression and thinking about how he never really lived up to how big he was in college. Nothing he did after college ever amounted to what he was and use to be.
