How much do we learn round Gatsbys character and how is it revealedto us?Throughout The Great Gatsby, Jay Gatsby appears to be motivated by thepursuit of wealth and a life with Daisy, but how does this show up hischaracter? What we know about Gatsby is severely limited by theinformation that Carra dash, who himself only meets Gatsby at the startof the novel, feeds to us. During the short summer, in which the booktakes place, our information is limited by the format of the fibi.e. the first person viewpoint limits what we know about Gatsby. Wecan tell through the way that he acts in his pursuit of Daisy that heis ultimately a shy, reclusive person who will try anything in orderto meet his old love. But the first knowledge of when Gatsby first metDaisy at Camp Taylor, ahead he went to Europe, was at the beginningof the chapter in which he was killed. During this period, he was inthe company of many rich and successful officers who either wanted to bewith her. In going out with Dais y, Gatsby had proved that he couldhave a relationship with a person from a more privileged backgroundthan he had. The accompaniment that he falsified his wealth in order to becomeacquainted with her shows that he is longing for a trophy of successthat capturing Daisys heart will bring him. The way that he asksCarraway to arrange a meeting between himself and Daisy is strongproof of this link. Soon it becomes apparent that Gatsby wishes hisrelationship to return to the state that it was before he left tofight in Europe during the war. This is demonstrated by the quote,Cant repeat the past? Why of course you can. These words fromGatsby demonstrate a very dense wish for his relationship withDaisy to be as i... ...e. As Carrawayputs it, They were careless flock, Tom and Daisy - they smashed upthings and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their coarse carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and letother people clean up the mess they had made. Su ch a strongstatement fully shows how these people could have taken in Gatsby.Trying to hide business dealings cast doubt for the reader but for anyman to go to all the trouble of arranging to meet his true love showshis romantic side. One thing that this novel shows to the reader isthat although Carraway is told some details by Gatsby, what we knowlastly turns into a great deal of information. I believe thatGatsby is overall a good person trying desperately to achieve the twothings that his life has desire - Daisy and the pursuit of money,which were denied to him earlier.
