I wish I was a rich person living in New York during the 1920s 😩. The imagery is so rich, as well as symbolic. There were no shallow characters, they all had backstories and emotions. Nick was everything though, I love how he progresses from “well it’s fine no one is perfect I won’t judge” to “woahhhh these people are crazy I gotta get away from them.” I mean he literally recognizes that Jordan is a cheater and liar and he’s just like “that’s just how women are sometimes, it’s ok” ?!? Gatsby was so sweet though, tis a shame. Hated Tom and how Daisy acted when he was there, although Daisy was such an airhead she wasn’t that much better when he wasn’t. I love how caring Nick was for Gatsby, even at the end.
“We beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past”
