In the very first chapter, Nick Caraway, the author and main character, says that he learned to reserve judgment of other people from his father. Then when he later first mentions Gatsby, he states that he represents everything that he resents, but he reserves him from his normal judgment. In chapter 3 he states, “Every one suspects himself of at least one of the cardinal virtues, and this is mine: I am one of the few honest people that I have ever known (Fitzgerald 59).” But as the story continues, the reader becomes aware of the irony. Another example of moral flexibility comes from Tom, a wealthy man living in East Egg. He has a fairly public affair with a stout woman named Myrtle.
First of all, Victor is very materialistic in that he just wants to receive, but giving. At the beginning of the story, even though losing the job before, Victor still returns to his old job to ask for money to bring his father back from Phoenix.

Character Summary Like Nick, Gatsby comes from the Midwest (North Dakota, although his father later comes from Minnesota). He dropped out of St. Olaf’s College after only two weeks because he could not bear the janitorial job with which he was paying his tuition. Though Gatsby has always wanted to be rich, his main motivation in acquiring his fortune was his love for Daisy Buchanan, whom he met as a young military officer in Louisville before leaving to fight in World War I in 1917. Gatsby immediately fell in love with Daisy’s aura of luxury, grace, and charm, and lied to her about his own background in order to convince her that he was good enough for her. Daisy promised to wait for him when he left for the war, but married Tom Buchanan in 1919, while Gatsby was studying at Oxford after the war in an attempt to gain an education.
