Scott Fitzgerald, in The Great Gatsby, imparts upon the reader a very specific impression of glamour and allurement in a "perfect," yet shallow, upper class society. Unlike his friends and the people that attended his parties, Jay Gatsby was a very decent person despite most of his acquaintances and his occupation. He was also a very altruistic person. He analyzed all of the things with regard to accuracy of observation. A perfect example of this regard is shown when he has all the parties of his, and he stands from afar to watch and join in all the fun from a distance. Jay Gatsby makes a potent character due to the fact that his characteristics are a key to analyzing the other characters. Jay, as a younger man was love struck, and from then on only thought of one thing, Daisy. This shows that he is very companionate towards the ones that believe in true love and innocence, and therefore seeks out Nick because he sees that in him, and needs help from someone that believe in the same. He is a very hard worker, as we can tell how Daisy does not marry him because he does not have enough money, so he leaves town to seek out enough money to that Daisy would take one look at him and see that he is all she every needs. Jay continues this train of thought until his very last moment on earth, when he is killed by Wilson, because Gatsby was relatively kind to everyone despite how anyone treated him, and therefore he never dynes his love for Daisy, not once.
