Blanche cannot understand why Stella decides to tolerate Stanley's behaviors and live with him for a long time.

As men, Joe and Jerry can’t seem to catch a break. They’re constantly poor, they cannot get a good gig, and they even get on the bad side of the mafia, just for trying to borrow a car from the wrong place at the wrong time. The mafia is so intent on killing them, Joe and Jerry have to reinvent themselves as Josephine and Daphne just to get out of Chicago safely. But then, as soon as they become women, everything is fantastic. The protagonists are welcomed to the plush traincar of the Society Sisters with open arms.

Officer Ryan then goes on to run his hands up Christine’s leg and sexually assaults her. Her husband Cameron (Terrence Howard) doesn’t do anything to stop the cop because he is afraid of what the cop may do to the couple, and because he is afraid to speak out against a white officer. His partner, Hansen (Ryan Phillippe) knows that the search was wrong yet didn’t do anything to stop the inappropriate search. I think that the younger cop Hansen decided to not to say anything because he knew his role was to be a cop and that included not calling out another cop for their wrong doing. The superordinate goals were to work as a team and stick together and to show people that they are there to regulate the law no matter how wrong their actions may look.

Additionally, Iva kissed Sam, asked him to come over the day after Miles was dead, stalked him, called the police and attempted to frame him for the murder when she noticed that Sam didn’t want her. Brigid O’Shaughnessy is the biggest manipulative, selfish, and emotionally-driven prostitute. She made Sam believe that she was innocent and that she was in danger, she doesn’t want to go to jail for the murder of Miles, and she asked Sam if she can buy him with her

Daisy does not come to Jay’s funeral; she sends no note. She completely turns her back on him, even though he died for her actions. Anything Daisy did had no good deed come from it. The only real villain is Tom Buchanan.There are lots of other people in the story who do bad things, but to me, Tom is the worst.Tom is the only one, in my opinion, who does not have an excuse for anything he does.Tom is very self-absorbed and proud of his wealth and the power it brings, Tom Buchanan haughtily displays his property to Nick Carraway, explaining that he has had his polo ponies brought from the wealthy Chicago suburb of River Forest to East Egg.
