A character we can share is Jay Gatsby, who was able to partially shape his identity as a millionaire to the public eye, as further explained below.

<h3>Gatsby's identity</h3>

Jay Gatsby, from the novel "The Great Gatsby," was both able and unable to shape his identity. Originally extremely poor, Gatsby was able to make a lot of money through criminal activities. He also came up with a story about his past, but would not share it with everyone.

The general public knew Gatsby to be a millionaire, attended his parties, etc. So far, he was successful in shaping his identity. But the mystery surrounding his fortune and himself made people suspicious. And, even when he did share his fake story about his past, some things sounded too scripted to be true.

In the end, the truth about him surfaces and he loses the love of his life. For that reason, we can say Gatsby was both able and unable to shape his identity.
