Jay Gatsby

Picture
Me at one of my parties in West Egg. I host my own parties at my house. Several people go. There's music all around, dancing, alcoholic beverages, and they last all weekend long from Friday night to Monday morning.
Full Name: James Gatz (I prefer Jay Gatsby; no one really knows about my life story)
Residence: West Egg, Long Island, New York
Current Generation: Roaring Twenties
Relationship Status: In a secret relationship with Daisy Buchanan
Friends: Wolfsheim, Nick Carraway, Jordan Baker, Daisy Buchanan
Education: Oxford


You could say I'm quite optimistic and confident about what I say...

"Meyer Wolfsheim? No, he's a gambler. He's the man who fixed the World's Series back in 1919." 

"Oh, I've been in several things. I was in the drug business and then I was in the oil business. But I'm not in either one now." 

"I don't think she ever loved him.You must remember, old sport, she was very excited this afternoon. He told her those things in a way that frightened her – that made it look as if I was some kind of cheap sharper. And the result was she hardly knew what she was saying."
