Was simpery a major issue back in the 1920s? Why did Jay Gatz get such a oneitis for Daisy who clearly wanted gigachad Tom more than the betacuck that is Jay?

>>24540357 (OP) The tailoring in this particular adaptation is immaculate. Not surprising, given that the costuming was done by Ralph Lauren himself.

>>24540368 I wish the lawn care shit would die. Huge fucking waste of time and resources. Would rather had a productive vegetable garden than gay grass that does nothing.

>>24540357 (OP) I think it had more to do with a combination of childhood frustration and PTSD from WW1. It’s not just about getting Daisy and everything she represents, he explicitly states a desire to go back to the past even though he resents his childhood and adolescence. He appears to idolize specifically his pre-war experience as an officer in training.
