Step-by-step explanation:

Here are some violence quotes from the book "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald:

"I hope she'll be a fool -- that's the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool." - Daisy Buchanan

"I told him the truth. He came to the door while we were getting ready to leave, and when I sent down word that we weren't in he tried to force his way upstairs. He was crazy enough to kill me if I hadn't told him who owned the car. His hand was on a revolver in his pocket every minute he was in the house." - Myrtle Wilson

"The bar is in full swing, and floating rounds of cocktails permeate the garden outside, until the air is alive with chatter and laughter, and casual innuendo and introductions forgotten on the spot, and enthusiastic meetings between women who never knew each other’s names." - Nick Carraway

"I couldn’t forgive him or like him, but I saw that what he had done was, to him, entirely justified. It was all very careless and confused. They were careless people, Tom and Daisy — they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made." - Nick Carraway

"He snatched the book from me and replaced it hastily on its shelf, muttering that if one brick was removed the whole library was liable to collapse." - Nick Carraway (about Gatsby)

Please note that these quotes may contain spoilers for those who have not read the book.
