The Fourth Installment of The Great Gatsby Responses

There are only the pursued, the pursuing, the bust and the tired, this is the last sentence of chapter four. To me what Nick is trying to say is that in the world of The Great Gatsby there are many types of people, the ones who pursue after their dreams, the ones who are being pursued by what once they wanted, and the ones that have no initiative anymore. The one who I believe exhibits the pursued is Myrtle, because even though Tom has a wife he stills needs something more and that is Myrtle. The one who exhibits the pursuing is Tom, for he is pursuing what he thinks he needs, and he is. And finally the one who exhibits the bust and tired is Gatsby himself, for even though he is rich, he has grand parties, where no one even actually knows what he looks like, and he just walks around in a haze, as though he doesn't need to do much to accomplish anything.
