No one asked him to throw all those amazing parties and make everyone happy. All though all the things he did were selfish and for his own good he was still a great person.

"Whenever you feel like criticizing anyone, just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had." (Fitzgerald 1). The Great Gatsby begins with the moral lesson of not criticizing others because everyone has had different experiences, yielding both advantages and disadvantages. In the book, The Great Gatsby, the characters judge each other harshly and attribute them to faults, causing all sorts of needless tragedy and despair. This could have been prevented if each character was not as immoral and fraudulent as they are depicted. However, each character, aside from Nick, adapts to the moral vacuum of the materialistic 1920’s society. F. Scott Fitzgerald develops the theme of the importance of not making judgements upon first impression in The Great Gatsby with shallow, yet symbolic interactions between characters in the book. (Nagel 113-124)

However, Gatsby’s life is ultimately taken away due to his burning desire for hope. His naivety in re-creating the ‘love’ he had with Daisy causes him to become a victim of his own wrong doing, the lies and the wealth all catch up to him in the end.

Once again, Gatsby’s upper class like manners allowed him to make a good first impression and find a path to wealth. According to Mr. Wolfsheim, “I had discovered a man of fine breeding... There’s the kind of man you’d like to take home and introduce to your mother and sister” (72). Even though what he joined was illegal, Gatsby bagan working with Mr. Wolfsheim in the sale of illegal alcohol. It is evident that Gatsby never lost his dream because of the great lengths and risk he took to get his wealth back. He turned to crime in order to gain his wealth. Even though it still appeared that Gatsby had manners of a wealthy person, on the inside he lost those morals when he sacrificed them for a dream that turned sour. On another note, Gatsby’s dream was to be wealthy, which he achieved, however, in reality he no one else acknowledged Gatsby at the

In the novel, The Great Gatsby, Gatsby is seen as a mysterious character that’s not called great or bad. The Great Gatsby takes place in the 1920’s during the “roaring twenties” or called as the “Jazz Age”, a period ending the Great Depression and an era where jazz and dancing become trendy. Gatsby does not seem to be fit to be called “great”, instead he is fit for being called a determined man. Some may not call Gatsby “great” because of his lies and some will call him “great” because he is a man who is determined to get Daisy back from Tom or because Gatsby is a nice man who does not have much ignorance like Tom. An example why Gatsby do not deserve to be called a “great” man is because he is a liar and a “great” man does not

Gatsby worked hard to get to the lavish lifestyle that he wanted to live in order to impress Daisy, although he might have taken the illegal way to get their, he still had the courage to do the illegal things that he did for the one that he truly

Gatsby does well in the war and he then tries to go back to Daisy but is unable to and is sent to Oxford instead. When he comes back, he is absolutely broke and then he tries to find a job. He shows his selfishness again when he tries to get money. Gatsby meets Meyer Wolfshiem while searching for a job. He ends up getting involved in some shady, illegal business and becomes a bootlegger. Gatsby was so adamant in getting money and rising up in society that he was willing to do whatever it took to get money. His greed and selfishness led him to do illegal things that he shouldn’t have been doing. Gatsby ends up buying a house across from Daisy where he was hoping to reconnect with her again. He again shows his selfishness by wanting to reconnect and rekindle his love with her even though she is already married to Tom Buchanan. Daisy is clearly taken and Gatsby wants her to leave Tom and go away with him since now Gatsby isn’t poor and can provide for her. Even now, he still selfishly hides the truth by lying about his education and not telling the truth about the source of his wealth. He even confronts Tom about his love for her saying “she never loved you. She loves me.” (Fitzgerald 137) Gatsby’s selfishness ends up costing him his life at the very end. He does end up showing some selflessness by taking the blame for the accident even though Daisy was the one driving.

Besides ignorance to thought, Nick being a practical, peripheral narrator, provides little to no, personal opinion. Although it could be argued that this is a negative quality for a narrator, Fitzgerald made sure he gives nothing away, nor forces any opinions on the readers. He leaves all final opinions in the hands of readers, which makes the novel such an interesting topic because of the variety of interpretations available. Nick never judges any of the characters for their immoral actions and poses as an innocent, reserved bystander. This leaves final judgment open to opinion, which is why The Great Gatsby can appeal to so many different audiences. At the end of the novel, Fitzgerald includes the statement “one gentleman to whom I telephoned implied that he had got what he deserved” (169) in reference to Gatsby’s death, which leaves readers to choose a side, whether readers should pity Gatsby, or if one has the right to believe that his unlawfulness lead to his own demise.

No character is perfect in The Great Gatsby though, Tom is protective, but causes the death of Jay Gatsby. Jay is a nice man with good intentions, but becomes blinded by love and causes pain in many lives because of it. Tom and Gatsby are both extremely wealthy men who both are desperate to get what they want, they just have conflicting interests and create the “Protective versus Destructive” roles because of

During the first chapter we learn that from Nick that Gatsby is a very optimistic and hopeful man. He's done his best to prosper in life but we learn that he has hopes for more. Also we learn that his hope is what drives other characters. Then we find out through Jordan that Gatsby wants to meet with Daisy but is afraid. That is why he always holds such lavish parties, Jordan tells Nick,"I think he half expected her to wander into one of his parties..,but she never did.". Later in the story after Gatsby has spilled the beans of he and Daisy's affair he hopes and waits for her to come to him. In the end she does not and this is where we actually see a genuine act of despair in Gatsby, "Nothing happened.., I waited, about four o'clock she came to the window and stood there for a minute..". Overall, Gatsby goes through having his hopes crushed entirely by the end of the novel. But the hope he actually had was false because all along he knew what he had dreamed for wouldn't really work out and you can see this in many chapters of the book.

Since he died for taking the wrath of something he did not do. Gatsby is a man who struggled to get what he wants and who much reach a certain status before marrying the woman he is in love with. He was basically an outsider who comes from an uncertain past. Gatsby was able to win the hearts of many of the people around him with his tales of adventures and showing off his wealth.

Firstly, Nick realises straight away that Gastby is lying about his past and his trips to India, which suggests that Gatsby isn’t that much of a good liar, and Gatsby doesn’t realise this, because he has made all his dreams reality. Also, the description of Gatsby in chapter 6 gives us suggestions on why Gatsby can never be satisfied with his life: «...these reveries provided an outlet for his imagination; they were a satisfactory hint of the unreality of reality, a promise that the rock of the world was founded securely on a fairy’s wing»2. This quote is a perfect illustration of how Gastby views life. The fairy mentioned is has a slightly sarcastic feel, it’s almost as if Gastby’s mind is of a child - that everything around him is perfect, and nothing can influence him. But, such an oblivious approach to life cannot be secure or everlasting. Every dream changes, and every lie comes through sometime. Gatsby has to understand that he cannot live in his own fantasy, and that other
