Gatsby tells Nick lies about his past life. When they are riding together to New York, Gatsby says “something about my life”, he then proceeds to tell Nick about his very rich mix-western family background and “a family tradition” of his Oxford education. Gatsby also tells him how when his entire family died, he inherited lots of money which allowed him to travel all around Europe where he collected many jewels, painted, and tried to escape a sad memory.

Gatsby also wants Nick to believe the wealthy background that Gatsby has invented about himself as a way of making it real.

All he’s ever wanted was for a family to want him, and now he has just that, even though the band family is nontraditional. He also seems to be comfortable with having the family be the other band members rather than Herman, suggesting that he’s no longer pinning all his hopes on having a relationship with his “father.”
