It think that Gatsby is a very determined sort of guy. He is still trying to win over Daisy's heart even after such a long time and even though she has a husband (Tom). I think his determination payed off because eventually Daisy liked him once again. He is also a sweet guy because he even called off all his parties to have more time with Daisy (pg. 121-122). He is a romantic guy, always doing lovey-dovey things to win over Daisy. Although he is all these good things, I also think he is a home-wrecker since he is getting between Daisy and Tom. Tom even starts to realize that Daisy's affair with Gatsby is certain, and they both still go for it. Daisy even asked to go out to the city with Gatsby (pg. 136-138). For my part, I don't really have respect for Daisy because she is cheating on her husband and clearly lying to him when her husband loves her very much. And I feel bad for Tom clearly. He tries to confront them and even invites them to go to New York together but Daisy refuses (pg. 151). This book, The Great Gatsby, in my opinion, is a lot more about Gatsby and Daisy then about the narrator himself (Nick). Although a lot of the other characters are also bland, I feel like Nick is kind of a boring but essential character tot he story considering it is from his own point of view. There is not much to Nick and he doesn't seem to get too much into problems unless its about the lady Jordan or some other pretty girls.
