The Great Gatsby Blog #2

The character of Jay Gatsby is developed to be different from what I thought he would be. He is associated with Meyer Wolfsheim. While Wolfsheim isn't a major charcter, he is the shady business partner of Gatsby, and his purpose is to reveal more about Gatsby. Wolfsheim puts him in a negative light.
The stories of Jay's and Daisy's past make our impression of him a little more clear in the negative part, as we see the whole purpose of all of his plans and parties revolving around her. While it seems sweet on the surface, we can almost see his true intentions underneath.
The inconsistent stories of Gatsby make us have a bad impression of him, as the story of his past seems to change. We look down upon him for this.
Over these three chapters, my overall impression of Gatsby has gone down. I like him less now because his past is now catching up with him and shoeing his true colors, like his intentions with Daisy and shady business ventures.
