Answer:

Here are some examples of characters lying in The Great Gatsby with the corresponding chapter and page numbers:


1. "I am the son of some wealthy people in the Middle West - all dead now." - Jay Gatsby lying about his past to Nick Carraway (Chapter 1, page 65)


2. "Daisy tumbled short of his dreams -- not through her own fault, but because of the colossal vitality of his illusion." - Nick Carraway lying about Gatsby's real feelings for Daisy (Chapter 1, page 99)


3. “I'll tell you God's truth." - Myrtle Wilson lying to Tom Buchanan about her husband and her marriage (Chapter 2, page 32)

4. “I had a woman up here last week to look at my feet, and when she gave me the bill you'd of thought she had my appendicitis out." - Meyer Wolfsheim lying to Nick Carraway about a medical bill (Chapter 4, page 69)


5. "I heard you fired all your servants." - Jordan Baker lying to Nick Carraway about Gatsby's affairs (Chapter 4, page 85)


6. “I'm p-paralyzed with happiness." - Daisy Buchanan lying about her emotions at Gatsby's party (Chapter 5, page 87)

7. "The trouble is that sometimes she gets foolish ideas in her head and doesn't know what she's doing." - Tom Buchanan lying to Nick Carraway about his wife Daisy (Chapter 7, page 131)

These are just a few examples of lying in the novel, but there are many more throughout the book.
