In Chapter 7, we witness the confrontation between Tom and Gatsby over Daisy. This brings to the surface troubling aspects of both characters. We realize that Gatsby does not really love Daisy, he is just in love with the idea of being in love and Daisy just happens to be the face of that idea. Hints have been accumulating about Gatsby's criminal activity. Tom has suspicions and he wields his knowledge of Gatsby's illegal activities in front of everyone to disgrace him. Toms sexism and hypocrisy becomes more clear during the course of the confrontation. He has no morals about his own affairs, but when he is faced with his wife's infidelity, he assumes the position of an outraged victim. Gatsby wants to hear Daisy say that she has always loved Daisy and never loved Tom. He wants to recover from the past and want everything to be back to how it was. TOm invokes their intimate to personal history to remind her that she has had feelings for him. When Daisy and Gatsby were driving across the valley of ashes, when Daisy hits Myrtle with the car. Gatsby's decision to take the blame for Daisy demonstrates the deep love he still feels for her and illustrates the basic nobility that defines his character. Disregarding her almost capricious lack of concern for him, Gatsby sacrifices himself for Daisy.
