Sergio039 [100]2 years ago

This question requires a personal opinion for an answer. The following is an example of an opinion about Jay Gatsby's character:

  • Yes, I believe Jay Gatsby is a convincing character. Although the story itself may contain some exaggeration, such as the grand parties he trows at his castle-like mansion, Gatsby resembles a real person.
  • Gatsby is highly motivated, and everything he does is done with the purpose of getting him what he wants - the woman he loves. He is ambitious, which makes him willing to take shortcuts in life. His actions are consistent with his beliefs and his personality.
  • I believe we all know people like Gatsby, whose dreams are so big that they are willing to try and do anything. Be it entering a certain university, following a certain career, we often see examples of people who are so desperate to achieve such dreams that they will use money or other unscrupulous methods to achieve them.

<h3>Who is Jay Gatsby?</h3>
  • Jay Gatsby is the main character in the novel "The Great Gatsby," by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Some of the novel's themes are the corruption of the American dream and the degradation of society.
  • Gatsby corrupts the American dream himself when, instead of working hard and honestly, he chooses to become a criminal in order to get rich fast. He is so desperate to get rid of his old, poor self, that he will lie about his life and origins to anyone who is around to listen.
  • However, his intentions are not necessarily bad. First, the dream of becoming rich is a common one, and most people are indeed willing to do anything for it. Second, he is also doing that out of love for Daisy.
  • But intentions do not make him less of a criminal. Like people who buy their way into a good university, Gatsby is buying his way into people's hearts.
