The Great Gatsby

Jay Gatsby: I think it's sad how he holds parties all the time but never attends them. On several occasions throughout the movie it shows him standing upstairs watching his parties take place, just observing all the people that gathered at his home. I think this is his attempt at having a social life. When asked if he gets lonely in his big house, he just replies by saying he invites interesting people over every day. I found that was pretty odd since he never attempts to interract with any of them.

Daisy Buchannon: I'm not too sure about Ms. Daisy, but at first impression i think she's kind of irritating. She wouldn't be with Jay Gatsby because he didn't have the money to keep her family. "Rich girls don't marry poor boys." She married Tom because he had money, not because she loved him. I think what i'm trying to say is, she's foolish. It's ironic that Gatsby came back as a rich man. ;) If i could say one thing to her though, i would have to say go for Gatsby while he'll still have you. Tom's having an affair. lol.

Tom: Don't much like this chap, kind of a hypocrit if you ask me....annnd a woman beater.

TTFN...
