Why did Daisy and Tom find Gatsby party loathsome?

Answer 1

There is a underlying ever present tension between the inhabitants of East and West Egg due to the 'new money' that live in West Egg and the 'old money' who live in East Egg. Daisy and Tom live in East Egg and find the West's parties garish and not as elegant as those thrown where they live. The drunken attendees are not the sort of people who Daisy and Tom usually socialise with.

Answer 2

Daisy and Tom found Gatsby's parties loathsome because they thought the atmosphere was vulgar and excessive. They were used to a more refined and exclusive social environment, so the opulence and lack of subtlety at Gatsby's gatherings were off-putting to them. Additionally, they saw the parties as a reflection of Gatsby's pursuit of Daisy and his attempts to impress her with his wealth.

Answer 3

Because the party wasn't what they expected. It was a lavish party and knowing that tom doesn't like gatsby, he only went to keep his eye on daisy.
