The Man Behind Jay Gatsby

The Man Behind Jay Gatsby In the novel, The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald, no one really seemed to know the man known as Jay Gatsby. When he was rich and powerful, he was the man you "wanted to be well acquainted with." But when he died, life went on without him. It seemed as if nobody cared that he was the man behind the extravagant parties and all the good times. He was …

…is the kind of man that Gatsby was. He is selfish and only wanted one thing from life and that was to live happily ever after with Daisy. After everything was said and done, Daisy never showed up to his funeral. This makes Gatsby's whole existence seem worthless. When Donald Trump is long gone, it seems that life will go on as usual. Like Gatsby, they will only call it "an end of an era."
