Answer:
The character of Tom Buchanan's mistress, Myrtle Wilson, is described in two paragraphs on page 27 of "The Great Gatsby." In-depth information about Myrtle's surroundings, behavior, and appearance is provided in the paragraphs. A "brown figured muslin" that emphasizes Myrtle's figure is described in the first paragraph. This particular detail emphasizes Myrtle's concern for her appearance and suggests that she is attempting to impress Tom with her appearance. The author also mentions that Myrtle speaks with a "thickish figure" and moves "gracefully," implying that she knows her body and understands how to make the most of it. The subsequent passage portrays Myrtle's treatment of her significant other, George, and her condo. The fact that the author mentions that Myrtle's apartment is "furnished in heavy, dark furniture" suggests that she lacks taste or refinement.
Furthermore, Myrtle's treatment of him demonstrates her hostility toward her husband: She "waved her hand toward the door" when he asked her to come outside, indicating a dismissive attitude toward him. Because Myrtle named the dog after a famous racehorse, the dog she affectionately treats at the end of the paragraph symbolizes her desire for wealth and status. These paragraphs portray Myrtle as a superficial, status-conscious woman willing to sacrifice her husband for her purposes.
