"She'll be all right to-morrow," he said presently. "I'm just going to wait here and see if he tries to bother her about that unpleasantness this afternoon. She's locked herself into her room, and if he tries any brutality she's going to turn the light out and on again."
"He won't touch her," I said. "He's not thinking about her."
When Nick said this to Gatsby, I was like, "What the heck?!" Daisy just killed someone, and yet Tom won't comfort her? Granted, the woman Daisy killed was Tom's mistress, but still! Tom shouldn't have been cheating on Daisy in the first place, because the death wouldn't have had any significance, except for the fact that daisy had killed someone. Tom should be thinking about Daisy, because she's probably freaking out. I know that if I had accidently just killed someone, I'd want to be comforted. Tom should get over the fact that his mistress is dead, because Daisy is his WIFE and needs him.
