Explanation:
The narrator of The Great Gatsby, Nick Carraway, describes Jay Gatsby as an enigmatic and elusive figure who has an extraordinary capacity for hope and romanticism. Gatsby is depicted as a man of great wealth and status, but his past and his true identity are shrouded in mystery. Despite his outward success, Gatsby is deeply flawed and haunted by his past, particularly his love for Daisy Buchanan. Nick admires Gatsby’s idealism and his belief in the possibility of reinventing oneself, but he is also critical of Gatsby’s single-minded pursuit of his dream and his willingness to engage in illegal and immoral activities to achieve it.
