Great Gatsby, The

My opinion on Jay Gatsby:
He seemed like the kind of man who really seeked for what he wanted in life. Someone who strived to be the best he could be, & appreciated what he had. He came off as someone who treated others with respect, no matter what they'd done to him. He was sincere with others (Daisy, included), & wanted nothing but success for others. He "role-modeled" his life in a way that showed others that he could succeed.

Opinion--About Daisy:
If she wasn't stuck on herself as much as she came off to be, she'd be likeable. She seemed to be clueless & ditzy about almost everything. Once she realized Jay Gatsby loved her--always had--she came to a quick conclusion that she really didn't love her husband, Tom. ?? Okay? Good call, Daisy.
About Tom:
I'm not a fan of someone who claims they love someone, cheats, & once their 'love' brings it up that she loves someone else, they get all sorts of worked up & defensive. Tom wants both Daisy & Myrtle. The best of both worlds. He can't get it. Darn the luck.
It was difficult for me to follow the story lines of everyone. Hope this made sense. :)
