INTRODUCTION
The man, the myth, the legend, Jay Gatsby is the titular hero of The Great Gatsby.

Nick first comes to know him as an incredibly wealthy, mysterious man who throws
lavish parties, but we eventually learn his background: a boy from humble origins who is
desperate to win back the love of a rich woman, Daisy, and loses everything in his last
attempt to win her over
THE MAIN ACTORS AND ACTRESSES
Gatsby's very first appearance is a bit surprising and
anti-climatic—he is presented as just another party-
goer of Nick's age before it's revealed that he's actually
the famous Gatsby. That said, Nick's description of
Gatsby's smile—"rare" and "full of eternal reassurances"
that "understood you the way you wanted to be
understood"—sets Gatsby apart as someone special
and alluring.

Gatsby has tan skin and short hair, but otherwise most
of Gatsby's characterization comes through his
dialogue and actions—Nick doesn't linger on his physical
appearance the way he does with other characters
(especially Tom and Myrtle).

Many trials fall on his lot, and the most
important of them is a meeting with
Daisy, a girl from high society. He
instantly falls in love with her and, of
course, idealizes the object of his
passion, while realizing that now he
cannot claim anything.
Partially based on Fitzgerald’s wife, Zelda, Daisy is a beautiful young woman from Louisville, Kentucky. She is Nick’s cousin
and the object of Gatsby’s love. As a young debutante in Louisville, Daisy was extremely popular among the military
officers stationed near her home, including Jay Gatsby. Gatsby lied about his background to Daisy, claiming to be from a
wealthy family in order to convince her that he was worthy of her. Eventually, Gatsby won Daisy’s heart, and they made
love before Gatsby left to fight in the war. Daisy promised to wait for Gatsby, but in 1919 she chose instead to marry Tom
Buchanan, a young man from a solid, aristocratic family who could promise her a wealthy lifestyle and who had the support
of her parents.

CONCLUSION
The theme of The Great Gatsby is that past cannot be
repeated and everybody has to move forward in life. The
author of the book F. Scott Fitzgerald was a popular writer
in the 1920s and by using plot, style, figurative language,
character, and setting he is able to develop the theme.
Past is something that has already taken place and there is
nothing you can do to bring it back. Characters in the book
such as Jay Gatsby, Nick Carraway, Daisy and Tom
Buchanan, all deal with some aspects of past that they want
to bring back. Also, the 1920s was a time of prosperity and
luxurious lifestyle and in The Great Gatsby Fitzgerald has
created settings and ploto under that helps tstand the story
as well as the period of time.
