How Is Jay Gatsby A Dynamic Man

The American novelist, F. Scott Fitzgerald, who wrote the novel The Great Gatsby in 1925, has a character named Jay Gatsby, who makes many appearances throughout the novel. While Jay Gatsby who was first introduced in the third chapter is a character who takes part in the summer activities, Jay Gatsby, with his “tanned skin” that was “drawn attractively tight on his face and his short hair looked as though it was trimmed every day,” makes a wondering impression on the readers (50). After the scene of the party at his house and a day in the city with Tom, Daisy, Nick, and Jordan, Jay Gatsby represents what a character should not be. This man is a dynamic character who changes for the worse: Jay Gatsby begins the novel by being an impressive man, however, as the novel progresses, he becomes a more destructive man.

For example, Jay Gatsby’s house is described in chapter three, which made characters wonder where all his money came from. During the novel, Jay Gatsby’s house is described as a “factual imitation of some Hotel de Ville in Normandy,” in other words, Jay Gatsby’s house was a massive house (5). Furthermore, Gatsby was an impressive man who threw a party in chapter three where everyone showed up. To illustrate, people from everywhere would show up at Gatsby’s house without an invitation. Nick was one of the few people who Gatsby invites over to the party at Gatsby’s with an invitation; however, Gatsby did not send out invitations for the parties (41). Although Jay Gatsby’s wealth is impressive, he makes a radical change into a man who becomes a destructive man who ruins the marriage between Tom and Daisy
