Jay

Charming, suave, meticulous, careful

Lover of Daisy

Who loves silk shirts, yellow cars, and hydroplanes

Who feels obligated to throw big and lavish parties to impress Daisy, obligated to lie about his occupation, and annoyed when asked details about his past

Who fears he will never be with Daisy, that Daisy does not truly love him, and that he has run out of time and came back too late into Daisy’s life

Who gains many riches to throw extravagant gatherings and to buy expansive possessions

Who would like Daisy to admit to Tom that she never loved him, to live a happy life with her and enjoy his wealth

Resident of West Egg, New York
