  4. The Great Gatsby proved to be a colorful, dramatic, and intriguing story with vivid characters and strong ethical themes. Jay Gatsby himself was the archetype of the successful, self-made American man with a penchant for the high-class life. His disreputable business dealings and ultimate demise at the hands of Tom Buchanan serve as a cautionary tale about the risks of success. • The characters portrayed by F. Scott Fitzgerald in The Great Gatsby reflect the author. Much like Gatsby himself, Fitzgerald served in World War I. He fell in love with a young woman he had to woo with his eventual success as a writer. He lived a life of wealth and decadence, and his fortune was likely his demise, as he eventually died of health complications related to alcoholism. Ultimately, Fitzgerald’s audience was able to see that he was writing himself into Gatsby, and that he did not heed his own warnings.
