Gatsby and Myrtle.. ehhhh?

As we are seeing more and more through out the Novel Gatsby is a man of impulse, and one of no excuses. Although he has a history with Daisy it would be quite the plot twist for Gatsby to end up with his crush's husband's mistress. Myrtle, the whimsical and impulsive girl would almost fit in seamlessly with Gatsby and his own crazy habits. If Daisy and Tom find that flame or what ever, leaving both Gatsby and Myrtle out of the picture it would make sense that they some how find each other in the tangled mess that is the love square created by the four characters.

  2. I think you've hit upon something here, though, Josh. What similarities do we see between the character of Myrtle and the character of Gatsby?
