Great Gatsby #1

I believe Tom is to be a villain because he seems to be a terrible person. He cheats on his wife and he "broke [Myrtle's] nose with his open hand" (37). Gatsby seems to be either an anti-hero or a hero. He is incredibly nice to Nick, even inviting him to his party without really knowing him (41). However, he was "standing alone on the marble steps and looking from one group to another with approving eyes," (50) which makes him seem a bit creepy. Also, Nick points out that he doesn't drink (50), and even though Nick says he could "see nothing sinister about him," I can't help but feel Gatsby's a shady person.
