Each individual has their own perception of people and events, along with the unique impact it may have on them. This concept can be accurately portrayed in The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald is able to describe each character’s process of thinking in a way that puts a reader in the forefront of that character’s thinking and emotion. Each character has a different way of thinking and decision making process. The usage of literature and celebrated classics, such as The Great Gatsby, are able to expand a reader’s understanding of the complexity of human life.
In The Great Gatsby written by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Jay Gatsby is many things. He is a yachtsman, a soldier in World War 1, an entrepreneur, and bootlegged alcohol in America.

They also think that they always have to be in control over everything, and end up abusing their power because they think that they are above the law.

F. Scott Fitzgerald was born on September 24th, 1896. He attended a Catholic school in New Jersey and he was part of the college class of 1917, but he often neglected his own studies. He started off writing magazine articles, but soon left the magazine business to write popular fiction. He met Zelda Sayre and was planning to marry her, but she called the engagement off after realizing she didn’t want to live with him and his poor lifestyle, and Scott was later drafted into World War I.
The Great Gatsby highlights the main problematic peaks of the 1920s, emphasising how combatants from the war try relive the years they have lost and the silent feud between those of new money and those of old money. Fitzgerald creates a paradox view of the story by capturing the essence of two completely different personalities and building characters upon them. The result of this paradox was the creation of conflict between the main character Jay Gatsby and the antagonist, Tom Buchanan. Jay Gats or as we know him, Jay Gatsby is a perfect example of an idealist, optimist and a fantasist. He can be perceived as the embodiment of an over the top romance or a creepy, stalker who devotes his life dwelling on the past.
