Line 36:
----
=== This novel includes examples of: ===
* [[A Birthday, Not a Break]]: Nick's 30th right after Gatsby and Daisy's relationship goes to hell.▼
* [[Abusive Parents]]: Daisy seems to not even remember how old her child is.
** She's not actively abusive, she's just [[Parental Abandonment|completely detached]]. (Which could arguably count, YMMV.) Tom isn't very interested in his daughter either. Poor kid has two parents who are only vaguely aware she exists.
Line 49 ⟶ 48:
* [[Beta Couple]]: Nick and Jordan. Their romance isn't exactly happy-go-lucky, but in comparison to the epic [[Love Dodecahedron]] they're playing off, they're positively ecstatic.
* [[Big Brother Is Watching]]: Dr. T.J. Eckleburg.
▲* [[A Birthday, Not a Break]]: Nick's 30th right after Gatsby and Daisy's relationship goes to hell.
* [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing]]; {{spoiler|Daisy only cared about Gatsby and Tom because she thought they were rich,}} and when {{spoiler|Gatsby dies, Daisy doesn't even attend his funeral! She just forgets about the effort Gatsby put into winning her over and moves on with Tom, the man she doesn't love.}}
* [[Blank Book]]: Owl-eyes is ''amazed'' that Gatsby's library contains actual books.
