The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald is a novel about the tangled life of a young mysterious millionaire named Jay Gatsby and his deep love for Daisy Buchanan. Fitzgerald picks Nick Carraway's, a humble man who lives beside Gatsby, to depict the secretive Mr. Gatsby to the audience. Despite rumors that spread around Gatsby’s life, the author does not leave any statements to prove Gatsby is Great. The way Gatsby believes and pursuits his dream and the way he interprets love are so pure and true that those attributes make him the Great Gatsby. One might argue that Gatsby is a coxcomb who throws lavish parties frequently. When Gatsby has a party, “People [are] not invited-they [go] there”, which means to them Gatsby is nobody but place for them to have fun and enjoy the upper class lifestyle (Fitzgerald 41). They are only interested in Gatsby when their curiosity drives them to, but they don’t actually care about this “generous” man and the reasons he throws these parties. The rumors come from the gossips which made Gatsby an assassin who “once [kills] a man” or the “German Spy during the war” (44). Some young ladies who are moving between Gatsby’s cocktails and flowers say that Gatsby is actually “ a bootlegger, and one time he killed a man who had found out that he is nephew to Von Hindenburg and second cousin to the devil” (61). All kinds of rumors are flying around in the city and no one knows who Gatsby really is. Even to those who have met Gatsby personally. As Tom says that Gatsby is “popular, and gives big parties” and “[he]’ve got to make [his] house into a pigsty in order to have any friends-in the modern world” (Fitzgerald 130). Tom first views Gatsby as a young party guy who is extravagant because he is newly rich. Later when he finds out the affair between Gatsby and Daisy, he immediately thinks Gatsby to be a despicable guy who “tries to cause some kinds of row in his house” (129). Tom considers Gatsby as “ one of that bunch that hangs around with Meyer Wolfsheim” (133). Tom never has a good impression of Gatsby, he has “picked him for a bootlegger the first time [he] saw him” (133). It is understandable for Tom to have such a negative opinions towards Gatsby. The rumors never embellish glories to Gatsby’s identity and let alone the love story between Gatsby and Daisy. Tom has his reasons to dislike Gatsby. To someone who doesn't have such a subjective view of Gatsby, Jordan, remembers Gatsby as the “officer [who] [looks] at Daisy while she [is] speaking, in a way that every young girl wants to be looked
