Great Gatsby #2

I think the purpose of Wolfsheim is to reveal and embody Gatsby's past, and to taint the pristine quality Gatsby gives off at the beginning of the novel. Jay and Daisy's backstory makes me sympathize with Gatsby. I feel bad for him. He's mad for recreating the past, and I doubt he'll get over that. My impression of Gatsby became more rounded and less one-sided, as learning more about him made me feel like I could have a better impression of him. My overall impression of Gatsby changed drastically. At the beginning of the book, I wasn't sure whether or not to like Gatsby. I adored the way he was talked about, but he seemed off and distant. He was delightfully awkward at first, and learning of his past made me like him a lot more.
