There are several, but here are a few of the more obvious ones:
Nick says that Gatsby embodies everything he dislikes, but then goes on to say how much he admires Gatsby.
Daisy and Tom seem to "have it all" yet Nick can sense Daisy is unhappy.
Daisy hopes that her female child would be born a fool.
Daisy knows that her husband is having an affair, but no one will say anything about it.
Gatsby is the central man in this novel (it's named after him), and his is barely in the first two chapters.
Myrtle's impulsiveness seems to entice Tom, yet, he punches her in the nose when she impulsively chants Daisy's name.
Nick seems more alert and interested at the subdued dinner party than at the wild party with Myrtle at the apartment.
