" She only married you because I was poor and she was tired of waiting for me. It was a terrible mistake, but in her heart, she never loved anyone except me! " (100)
This quote Gatsby is confronting Tom on why he thinks Daisy is with him. He tells him what he thinks as Tom was stubborn about making Gatsby tell him what his wife had to say. This relates to how a dream dies as when someone confronts you about something you believe for a long time to be not true, the dream crumbles like a dried up leaf, sucking out all the life in it. What Tom has believed for a long time seemed untrue, his lovely wife, whom he has married for a long time, has secrets he did not know, until now.
