some way or another and wore “false faces”. The falseness of each character and how they

interacted and intertwined with each other was definently a directing force of the novel.

First of all the narrator Nick is false in a sense because he states early on that he reserves

all judgment but it is evident throughout the novel that he thinks of himself higher than everyone

else. One example of Nick’s falseness is that he does not like Tom very much from the beginning,

especially when he finds out about the affair he is having with Myrtle, but he still goes along with

them to the apartment in New York. I also believe that however non-judgmental a person tries to

be or believes he/she is, it is impossible not to be in some way or another. Especially when

around people that are amoral or people that go against your beliefs and morals.

Daisy Buchanan has worn a false face since the evening before her wedding. After her

“breakdown” she pulled herself together and decided that it was the right thing to do to marry

Tom. She knew that he had money and that she would never want for anything. From that time

Many possible themes were presented but falseness would be a primary one.

George; the love triangle between Tom, Daisy and Myrtle and the love triangle between Tom,

This novel was very descriptive and I believe without all the “false faces” shown it would

and keep the reader interested. The characters were intertwined with each other and that is

falseness and vulgarness. People that attended the party were lower class but acted as if the party

feelings. I also feel that she did this because people then did not hold her accountable for her
