Mistress Mrytle Wilson

Myrtle is a women in her mid-thirties and she is George Wilson's wife, and Tom Buchanan's secret lover. Myrtle is a little chunky but she carried her surplus flesh sensuously as some women can. Although she apparently detests her husband, her lover, Tom, abuses her, in which he actually breaks her nose during their drunken escapade in New York City. Locked in her room by George after her infidelities are found out, she escapes into the night, only to be run over by Daisy driving Gatsby's yellow car. Her death prompts George Wilson to undertake his bloody outrage.
