Gatsby 4/12/13

What impressions do we get of Gatsby before we meet him? How does this compare to our first meeting with him?

Gatsby is seen as a very rich man. His wealth is talked about in the book a good amount before we meet him. There is also a sense of mystery around him. Everyone discusses how he is this great man, but no one mentions any details. He is also known as a man who loves to party. All know about his over-the-top parties. This description of him is echoed once he is introduced in the book. He is a wealthy man, and throws extravagant parties. His mysterious side is also shown, as no one at the party knows anything about him. He seems like a recluse, as he does not hang out with many people at the party. Because he does not interact with many of the guests, he seems to be a mysterious person.
