"Nick Carraway - The novel's narrator hails from the Midwest, attended Yale, and fought in World War I. He moves to New York to learn the bond business and soon befriends his next door neighbor Jay Gatsby. He helps reignite a romance between his cousin, Daisy Buchanan, and Gatsby. Nick narrates the entire story and remains torn between the flashy lifestyle of New York and the honest living of the Midwest.
Jay Gatsby - The novel's title character lives a life of mystery. His desperate longing to relive the past by rekindling his romance with Daisy Buchanan borders on pathetic. He buys a mansion across the water from her home and stares at a green light from her dock every night. Speculation abounds regarding the origin of his riches. It's apparent, his wealth is ill-gotten.
Tom Buchanan -He is immensely wealthy and might put you in his will. He symbolizes greed and the corrupting force of possessing large sums of money without actually earning it. He's also an adulturer because he has an affair with Daisy's sister Myrtle."
