The first character I will talk about is Nick Carraway. He is a younger man who traveled to new York and started to learn the bond business his first summer in New York. Nick shows a strong virtue. Nicks diligence should take him a long way in this novel. He is quiet and modest and will not spread rumors as we have seen so far. People like to talk to nick since he has good integrity.
The next character is Daisy. So far in the book daisy has been looked at as a dumb (possibly acting like this on purpose) women. She is never making much sense and annoying other. I could connect her to the sin Slothfulness. She is married to her husband, Tom, for his money, which makes me think she does not want to work much. Honestly it is hard to blame her since her husband is described as "hard to realize that a man in my own generation was wealthy enough to do that"(6). By saying "do that" they were referring to bringing down a string of polo ponies from lake forest to his new home in the east egg.
Tom is the final character. Tom has both Greed and Pride. because of where he has been in his life and what he has accomplished, such as being "the most powerful end to have ever played football at New Haven" (6). With money usually comes greed and pride, and I think that the excessive amount of money he has accumulated has led to these sins.
