While reading the novel, The Great Gatsby, a person should be able to collect a lot of information about the main characters. Anybody that has read this particular novel, always thinks the same thing about the characters. Most people do not have their own opinions about them or think things happened for a different reason that being stated.
First off, there are four main characters. While reading the novel, it became very apparent that one of the main characters was Jay Gatsby. The information gathered entails that he was a young male around the age of 30. Gatsby grew up in a poor household in North Dakota, but always dreamed of becoming rich. He eventually pursed his dream by participating in some organized crime events such as selling …show more content…
He is a very quiet young man who is eventually turns 30 over the time period of the novel. Carraway grew up in Minnesota and lived there till he packed up and moved to New York. After his move to New York, he ended up settling down in the West Egg district of Long Island, where he became Gatsby’s neighbor. His reason for moving was so that he could get into the bonds business.

Daisy could have loved Tom but she could have also only married him to try and cover the fact that she had feeling for Jay Gatsby.
