Characters of The Great Gatsby
|
| A | B |
|---|
| Nick Carraway | the first person narrator and protagonist of the novel; every incident is filtered through and interpreted by him; represents the middle class. |
| Jay Gatsby (James Gatz) | the supposed hero of the novel. He is a slippery character; his language, home, books, cars, and attire all glimmer like gold, but no one really knows what goes on inside of him or who he is. |
| Daisy Buchanan | is a Louisville, Kentucky, socialite born into tremendous wealth. She is an empty-headed character, as fake and airy as her voice. She is lovely, slight, and careless. She lacks any substance. |
| Tom Buchanan | Daisy’s husband, a native Chicagoan from a hugely wealthy family. He is rugged, gigantic, and brash, as well as racist, arrogant, and adulterous |
| Jordan Baker | a golfer—young, taut, and tan—and a pseudo love interest of Nick’s |
| Myrtle Wilson | a resident of the valley of ashes, mistress of Tom Buchanan. She is desperate to escape her fate. |
| George Wilson | the sad proprietor of the gas station in the valley of ashes. He is the product of his economic hardship |
| T. J. Eckleburg | the doctor whose advertisement—a billboard featuring a pair of gigantic blue eyes behind enormous yellow spectacles—looks down upon the valley of ashes. George Wilson calls those eyes the eyes of God. |
