Gatsby: The Tragic Dreamer
Jay Gatsby stands as literature's most famous example of the corrupted American Dream. He's literally reinvented himself from poor farm boy James Gatz into a mysterious millionaire, believing completely that you can repeat the past.
Fitzgerald presents Gatsby as almost mythological - "a son of God" who "sprang from his Platonic conception of himself". The rumours about him being a "German spy" or "murderer" only add to his legendary status. Yet this god-like image masks a fundamental tragedy: his dreams are too big for reality.
The famous quote about Daisy falling short of his dreams "not through her own fault, but because of the colossal vitality of his illusion" captures Gatsby's essential problem. He's created an impossible fantasy that no real person could ever fulfil.
Key Quote: "Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us" - this symbolises how the American Dream always stays just out of reach.

Daisy: The Golden Girl's Dark Reality
Daisy Buchanan embodies the attractive yet hollow nature of wealth and privilege. Her voice is famously "full of money," and she gleams like silver, safe and proud above the hot struggles of the poor - showing how her class insulates her from real consequences.
Don't be fooled by her apparent fragility. Daisy's comment that she hopes her daughter will be "a beautiful little fool" reveals her understanding that intelligence would only make life harder for women in her world. She chooses the security of money over love.
Her artificial world is full of "pleasant, cheerful snobbery," and she manipulates emotions like the evening that was "a trick to exact a contributory emotion" from Nick. She represents everything attractive and destructive about the wealthy elite.
Remember: Daisy's character shows how the upper class can afford to be careless because their money protects them from consequences.
3
of 10
Nick: The Unreliable Observer
Nick Carraway claims to be honest and non-judgmental, but he's actually one of literature's most unreliable narrators. He tells the story retrospectively from memory rather than chronologically, and admits his tolerance "has a limit."
His voyeuristic nature becomes clear through his obsession with Gatsby - the entire novel centers on Gatsby despite covering three months of Nick's life. He's possibly in love with or at least obsessed with Gatsby, which colours everything he tells us.
Nick's casual sexism shows in how he treats women as temporary entertainment. His affair with the Jersey City girl and dismissive attitude toward Jordan reveal his true character. He name-drops excessively to prove both his own and Gatsby's worth.
Critical Point: Nick writes this as a diary but withholds information - ask yourself why he's telling this story and what he might be hiding.
4
of 10
Tom: Brutal Privilege
Tom Buchanan represents the worst aspects of inherited wealth and privilege. His physical dominance - breaking Myrtle's nose "with his open hand" - shows how he uses violence to maintain control when his social power isn't enough.
His racist views about the white race being "utterly submerged" reveal the ugly prejudices of his class. Tom's arrogant eyes establish dominance, and his treatment of both his wife and mistress shows his view of women as possessions.
The description of Tom and Daisy as people who "smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money" perfectly captures how wealth shields the rich from accountability. They destroy lives without consequences.
Essential Understanding: Tom embodies how inherited privilege creates people who are careless with others' lives because they've never faced real consequences.
5
of 10
Jordan & Myrtle: Women Trapped by Society
Jordan Baker represents the "flapper" generation of the 1920s - independent, dishonest, and careless. Her reckless driving symbolises her approach to life: "it takes two to make an accident." She's deliberately written as a flat character to show the shallowness of her social class.
Myrtle Wilson is the novel's most tragic figure, constantly imprisoned - first by her social class and marriage, then literally when George locks her up. Her desperate attempts to transform herself through clothes show her belief that appearance can change reality.
Both women are defined primarily through male perspectives and their relationships with men. Jordan serves as Nick's summer entertainment, while Myrtle is Tom's possession - "I want you to meet my girl."
Social Commentary: These female characters reveal how 1920s society limited women's options, forcing them into roles as objects for male pleasure or status symbols.
6
of 10
Minor Characters & Themes
George Wilson represents the forgotten working class, described as "spiritless" and "anaemic." His mental breakdown after Myrtle's death leads to religious psychosis where he mistakes the billboard eyes of Dr. Eckleburg for God - symbolising society's confused morality.
The American Dream appears throughout in contrasts between Gatsby's "shiftless farm people" parents and his luxurious parties with "floating rounds of champagne." The green light's significance vanishes when Gatsby gets closer to it, showing how dreams dissolve when achieved.
Class divisions are everywhere - from Gatsby's desperate attempts to prove he belongs at Oxford to the "dissimilarity in every particular" between East and West Egg. The wealthy's casual law-breaking during Prohibition shows their sense of being above rules.
Big Picture: Every character serves Fitzgerald's critique of 1920s America, showing how the pursuit of wealth and status corrupts both the pursuers and the pursued.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.
