Gatsby #2

I think the description given of Gatsby fits well with his character and gives the reader a better understanding of his opinion about himself. The idea that he is a son of God and the interpretation of this belief is actually very telling and at times evident in his actions. He seems to think he is better than others in may ways but behaves in such a way that this makes him more respected and admired in his community, rather than disliked or mistrusted. He seems to have an air that I would describe as egotistical, but I can see how it fits into the son of God description. He seems to have a belief that he deserves certain things out of life and that he should be given, or be able to get, what he desires.
It seems like other characters, Nick specifically, may have this same belief, even subconsciously. There seems to be something almost magical about Jay Gatsby that draws people into him. This special something makes people want to be involved in his life and makes them want to please him in any way they can. It’s like they thirst after and need his approval for some sort of validation. Nick, it appears, almost worships him and kind of idolizes him – like a son of God would be.
