Character Inferences: Chapters 1-3
CHAPTER 1 (Nick, Gatsby, Tom, Daisy, and Jordan): Who are these characters? What can we infer about them through what they say, what someone says about them, or what the character does?
CHAPTER 2 (Nick, Tom, Myrtle, George) How does Fitzgerald show Tom is old money and how does this affect his relationships with the people in the chapter? How is Nick shown to be an observer? How is Myrtle’s desire to climb the ladder evident? How do others try use her?
CHAPTER 3 (Nick, Gatsby, Jordan) Who is Gatsby? What are the rumors? What does Jordan think? What does Nick think? How is this modernism in form? How is Fitzgerald requiring readers to participate in the decision of who is Gatsby? In the owl-eyes scene, what do the “real books” with “uncut pages” signify about Gatsby? (This is an inference.)
