Narrated by Nick Carraway, the plot revolves around the characters of East and West Egg in their zeal to maintain their social class and wealth, which is the most important heme of the story.
Dan Cody was one of the minor characters of the text. In Chapter 6, the narrator mentioned that Dan Cody was <em>"fifty years old then, a product of the Nevada silver fields, of the Yukon, of every rush for metal since Seventy-five"</em>. And it was the moment when Jay Gatsby first encountered him. The narration continues about Cody, mentioning that the <em>"transactions in Montana copper that made him many times a millionaire found him physically robust but on the verge of soft-mindedness, and, suspecting this an infinite number of women tried to separate him from his money"</em>. This shows how Dan Cody was a rich man when Gatsby met him during his younger years.
