In the Great Gastby, the author is using the theme of relationships in the first two chapters. I think the author is saying that relationships do not always work out, and sometimes people just use you for shit in relationships. This is the case with Myrtle because she says in the second chapter "I married him because I thought he was a gentleman, I thought he knew something about breeding but he wasn't fit to lick my shoe". Myrtle is cheating on her husband because he does not have money plus she is only with tom for sex. In my opinion, i think this relates to one of my friends situations because she is only with her boyfriend for the money, but on the other hand they fight all the time. Overall, this shows that some relationships are not meant to be and sometimes, people are only together with that person to give them stuff.
