About this deal

George B. Wilson–a mechanic and owner of a garage. He is disliked by both his wife, Myrtle Wilson, and Tom Buchanan, who describes him as "so dumb he doesn't know he's alive". [53] At the end of the novel, George kills Gatsby, wrongly believing he had been driving the car that killed Myrtle, and then kills himself. [54] a b c Scribner 1992, pp.145–146: "Since there were at most a couple of weeks between the commission and Fitzgerald's departure for France, it is likely that what he had seen—and "written into the book"—was one or more of Cugat's preparatory sketches which were probably shown to him at Scribners before he set sail".

Analyzing these elements, literary theorist Walter Benn Michaels contends that Fitzgerald's novel reflects a historical period in American literature characterized by fears over the influx of Southern and Eastern European immigrants whose " otherness" challenged Americans' sense of national identity. [206] Such anxieties were more salient in national discourse than the societal consequences of World WarI, [207] [208] and the defining question of the period was who constituted "a real American". [209]

Houndu (하운두, RR: Haundu, M–R: Hauntu "hound"): Catsby's roommate and good friend. He provides financial sustenance for Catsby, working as a private tutor, sometimes known for philandering with female clients. He often brings Catsby to karaoke bars to help him feel better. [3] To Fitzgerald's great disappointment, Gatsby was a commercial failure in comparison with his previous efforts, This Side of Paradise (1920) and The Beautiful and Damned (1922). By October, the book had sold fewer than 20,000 copies. [59] Vogel 2015, pp.31, 51: "Among the most significant contributions of The Great Gatsby to the present is its intersectional exploration of identity.... these themes are inextricably woven into questions of race, ethnicity, gender, and sexuality".

The spelling "Wolfshiem" appears throughout Fitzgerald's original manuscript, while "Wolfsheim" was introduced by editor Edmund Wilson in the second edition.

Retrieved April 26, 2013.By 1944, a full-scale Fitzgerald revival had occurred. [164] Full-length scholarly articles on Fitzgerald's works were being published in periodicals and, by the following year, the earlier consensus among professional critics that The Great Gatsby was merely a sensational story or a nostalgic period piece had effectively vanished. [165] The tireless promotional efforts of literary critic Edmund Wilson, who was Fitzgerald's Princeton classmate and his close friend, led this Fitzgerald revival. [166] In 1951, three years after Zelda's death in a hospital fire, Professor Arthur Mizener of Cornell University published The Far Side of Paradise, the first biography of Fitzgerald. [167] Mizener's best-selling biography emphasized The Great Gatsby 's positive reception by literary critics, which may have further influenced public opinion and renewed interest in it. [168]
