Therefore, it can be seen that due to his wealth, Tom is able to be careless and dangerous with his actions since he does little to stop the affair between Daisy and Gatsby, abuses Myrtle and cheats on Daisy. However, while Tom uses his money to continue his careless and dangerous action, Daisy uses her money to stay irresponsible with her actions.
