When looking closely at the life of Jay Gatsby, the main character and protagonist in The Great Gatsby, it is nearly impossible to not see the similarities between his life, and the life of F.

Jay Gatsby is always quick to tell people that he is an “Oxford man,” despite the fact that he never graduated from the institution. Just like Gatsby, Fitzgerald also attended a highly respectable university, in his case Princeton, but did not graduate.…

    Tom and Gatsby are both dishonest and deeply flawed men who commit consistent shows of indiscretions. For example, Tom condemns Daisy’s affair, but does not have the decency to be discreet about his own.

Both Tom and Gatsby lie and cheat, but Tom does it for the sole purpose of self-indulgence, while Gatsby does what he does in pursuance of his dream. Tom and Gatsby both have controlling personalities, and will do what they can to get what they want, regardless of the consequences.…
