Revelation (Pages 37-48)

In this passage of The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, I finally got to get to know Gatsby a little bit. He is a man thoroughly made of mystery. It seems as though no one really knows much about the fellow. I like Gatsby so much already. The less I know about him the more I just want to know. This also allows my imagination to really build him up as a complete mystery;therefore, he has endless possibilities! He can end up being absolutely anything and the only way that I am going to find out more about this marvelous Gatsby is by reading and finding out. He could end up being a foil character for various of the previously described characters. It would make sense to me that Fitzgerald would build up these side characters in order to better contrast the main character that is yet to be entirely revealed. The conclusion of the pages that I finished seemed so appropriate. Instead of Nicks friend giving him any kind of descriptive important response, "He's just a man named Gatsby"(Page 48). This novel is really turning out to be one that I enjoy more than the last mostly because of the mysterious aspect, but I think that I already am relating to the male characters better in this book than The House of Mirth.
