Jay Gatsby: Gatsby is a newly wealthy Midwesterner-turned-Easterner who orders his life around one desire: to be reunited with Daisy Buchanan, the love he lost five years earlier.
Nick Carraway:The story's narrator. Nick rents the small house next to Gatsby's mansion in West Egg and, over the course of events, helps Gatsby reunite with Daisy (who happens to be Nick's cousin).
Daisy Buchanan:Beautiful and mesmerizing. Her privileged upbringing in Louisville has conditioned her to a particular lifestyle, which Tom, her husband, is able to provide her. She is the object of Gatsby's desire, for good or ill, and represents women of an elite social class.
Tom Buchanan:Daisy's hulking brute of a husband. Tom comes from an old, wealthy Chicago family
