Q5 Why Tom and Daisy already had  marriage problem they still live together?

I found one thing I feel is intersting. Was at that time everyone can have affair. Because Daisy knew Tom has affair, but she didn’t say anything and didn’t do anything about that. Also Gatsby he already knew Daisy got married but he still live close to her, want her. And Nick also trying to help Gatsby gtetting close with Daisy. Why not he just give up find anther one better. He should know affair is illegal.

Nick Carraway is the novel’s narrator. Through his angle we know what happen to everyone in this novel. Let us know how was Amercia in that 20s.

Tom Buchanan, Daisy’s wealthy husband. Powerfully built and hailing from a socially solid old family. He is arrogant and doesn’t care about anything.

This novel is writing about 20s. At that time more Americans lived in cities than on farms. People from coast to coast bought the same goods , listened to the same music, did the same dances and even used the same slang.  For many–even most–people in the United States, the 1920s brought more conflict than celebration. The most familiar symbol of the “Roaring Twenties” is probably the flapper: a young woman with bobbed hair and short skirts who drank, smoked and said what might be termed “unladylike” things, in addition to being more sexually “free” than previous generations. The most important consumer product of the 1920s was the automobile. These facts we all can find from the book.
