    Just like all of the people in the novel who are fixated on fame, Nick takes pleasure in noting that he has “a partial view of [his] lawn, and [a] consoling proximity [to a] millionaire”(5). Not long after, Nick sees Gatsby for the first time. Gatsby is alone in the dark trembling, yearning for something with outstretched arms, which is later discovered to be the companionship of Daisy.

    The night Nick is told Gatsby’s real story, Nick remarks how “... [Gatsby] told [his backstory] to me at a time of confusion, when I had reached the point of believing everything and nothing about him” (Fitzgerald 101). Gatsby was an idea, one thought up by James Gatz in an attempt to increase his chances of social mobility. While Nick had always sought to defend Gatsby, believing in his innate goodness, he had been told so many lies, some by Gatsby himself, that a sudden declaration of the truth seemed a lie, as well. For years, Gatsby had been a symbol of wealth, yet because of his lie of life, any relationship he had was also built upon lies.…
