Having almost completed it, Irene realized that the detective was following her and ran away. But this story has a positive ending. The king was pleased and the photograph

was saved.

Nick Carraway

He is relatively innocent and mild-mannered, especially when compared to the elite among whom he lives. Over time, however, he becomes wiser, more observant, and even disillusioned, but never cruel or selfish. Nick is the novel's narrator, but he has some qualities of a protagonist, as he is the character who undergoes the most significant change in the novel.

Jay Gatsby

Ambitious and idealistic, Gatsby is the epitome of the “self-made man.” Now he is a young millionaire but he was born in a poor family. He fell in love with the wealthy Daisy as a young soldier, and since then has dedicated himself to becoming worthy of her by building up his image and fortune. Despite his best efforts, Gatsby’s idealistic fervor is no match for the bitter realities of society.

Plot (beginning):

In the first chapter of the novel, we get acquainted with Nick Carraway, on whose behalf the narration is conducted. He introduces us to the history of his family. Then he says that he took part in the Great World War and upon returning home he could not find a place for himself, he decided to move to the East and study credit business. In the spring of 1922, Nick moved to New York. The hero admits that it would be more appropriate to rent an apartment in New York, but he settled in West Egg, in a small house located at the very end of the cape.

Nick knew that the magnificent villa located to the right of his house belonged to a certain Mr. Gatsby, about whom he knew nothing.

On the opposite side of the bay, where Nick's house was located, his second cousin Daisy lived with her husband Tom. And one day Nick decides to visit them. Here Nick meets Daisy's friend Jordan Baker, with whom Nick started a conversation about Mr. Gatsby. Nick assured Jordan that he didn't know him, even though they lived next door. When Tom and Jordan went to the library, Daisy confesses to Nick how much she had to go through and tells about her little daughter. Nick on arrival home, in the dark, sees the silhouette of his neighbor and thinks for a long time whether to call out to him. Gatsby was very interested to Nick
