Jay Gatsby is a very wealthy man. He owns a huge mansions and throws parties every weekend. He was not always rich, he was very poor at one point of his life. After the war, he became a bootlegger and made a lot of illegal money. An example of his wealth is that he has others do things for him. " 'I've got a man in England who buys me clothes. He sends over a selection of things at the beginning each season, spring and fall' "(Fitzgerald 97). Being able to pay a man who is across the ocean to pay and send you clothes means that you must have a lot of money.

Some may say that Gatsby was too generous for letting people come in his house every weekend. He never asked of anything in return from any of the people that came to his house. Even though Gatsby lived in the East, he never forgot where he came from. An example of Gatsby being generous besides throwing the parties was how he treated his Dad. "He come out to see me two years ago and bought me the house I live in now" (Fitzgerald 181). Gatsby did not have to do that for his father. He bought his dad's house out of generosity.

Gatsby let random strangers enjoy his home for nothing in return. He let people have the time of their lives without asking for anything in return. Even the people Gatsby was "friends" with just used him. The only true people that respected him were the people that went to his funeral, which were only his dad, Nick, and the owl-eyed man. An example when Gatsby was disrespected was after he died someone had the burden to ask something from him without going to his funeral. A man called Gatsby's house and said, "What I called up about was a pair of shoes I left there. I wonder if it'd be too much trouble to have the butler send them on" (Fitzgerald 177). Nick hung up the phone right away. The man disrespected Gatsby because he was asking for a favor, not even having the decency to go to his funeral.

Gatsby loves Daisy very much, which makes him endlessly devoted to her. He never fell in love with any other girl, during the time they were apart. He was surrounded by beautiful woman at every one of his parties, but he did not even look at them. Gatsby never gave up on Daisy, he always knew she would come back to him. He is willing to do anything to help their relationship. " "I'm going to fix everything just the way it was before," he said, nodding determinedly. "She'll see" "(Fitzgerald 117). He wishes that he can turn back time, so Daisy and him can be in love, like they once were. He is not giving up on Daisy at all.

Gatsby is in love with Daisy so much that he bought a house across the bay from her, so that he could be near her. Another way to tell that Gatsby loves Daisy is they way he looks at her, "He hadn't once ceased looking at Daisy and I think he revalued everything in his house according to the measure of response it drew from her well-loved eyes" (Fitzgerald 96-97). Gatsby is so much love with Daisy that he values her to be more precious and special over everything he owns. He does not take his eyes off of her for second, because he wants to embrace her beauty.

Gatsby never told the truth to anyone until later in the book to Nick. "His parents were shiftless and unsuccessful farm people..." (Fitzgerald 104). He lied about where he came from because he wanted people to believe he had "old" money, not new money, so he would be able to fit into Daisy's life style better.

When Nick goes to Gatsby's party, no one he meets seems to have met Gatsby. All night Nick hears rumors who Gatsby is. For example, "it's more that he was German spy during the war" (Fitzgerald 48). Another example he hears, "it couldn't be that because he was in the American army during the war" (Fitzgerald 48).  Gatsby is a total question mark. Nobody knows the real Jay Gatsby.

Later at the party, Nick meets Gatsby without even noticing. "We talked for a moment about some wet, grey little villages in France.  Evidently he lived in this vicinity for he told me that he had just bought a hydroplane and was going to try it out in the morning. "Want to go with me, old sport?" " (Fitzgerald 52). At this moment Nick does not know the man who just invited him to try out his new hydroplane is his neighbor. This passage from the novel describes that Gatsby is friendly because he invited Nick to spend time with him, without really knowing him.
