| Quote #13 "You're crazy!" he exploded. "I can’t speak about what happened five years ago, because I didn’t know Daisy then—and I’ll be damned if I see how you got within a mile of her unless you brought the groceries to the back door. But all the rest of that’s a God damned lie. Daisy loved me when she married me and she loves me now." |
When faced with losing Daisy, Tom gets protective all of a sudden. It seems that as long as he’s the one cheating, it’s no big deal, but her straying is something he absolutely cannot handle. Maybe Tom lost interest in Daisy over time because she was no longer a challenge. When suddenly he has to fight for her, she becomes desirable again.
