Why do Daisy and Tom Buchanan invite Nick to dinner?
ladyvols1 Teacher High School – 9th Grade Editor Debater $(document).ready(function() { $(‘a.toggle_expert_titles’).click(function() { $(‘#show_expert_titles’).toggle(); return false; }); }); Nick is newly home from the war. He is a first cousin to Daisy and Tom is her husband. They invite him to Tea and Jordan is there. They invite him because he is family, he is single, they have a single female at the house and the “custom” was to “fix up” the single woman with an appropriate man. Also, Tom is intent on having a bragging session with Nick present. He pontificates on the difference between East Egg and West Egg and he flaunts his affair with Myrtle Wilson while Jordan, Nick and Daisy are at the dinner table. This is Nick’s introduction to Tom, his cousin’s husband.
