Great Gatsby 2

1. Meyer Wolfsheim's presence in the story lets the audience know of Gatsby's bootlegging past. It shows that Gatsby was once involved in illegal behavior, which could almost be a sense of foreshadowing. His current presence in the story suggests that Gatsby may still be a part of this type of behavior.
2. Throughout the story, we've seen Gatsby as this character that didn't seem real, but the backstory about Gatsby and Daisy makes him seem more human, with a heart and the capability to love and be hurt. This contributes to his development in that he doesn't seem as mysterious and makes him more of a round character with more emotions.
3. The rest of Gatsby's story shows the imperfections that existed in his life and probably still do. He didn't get all his money from his family, he had to work for it. His 'perfect' life that existed before doesn't now and helps show that he's a real character with real problems.
4. I think that this new information about Gatsby makes me like him more. People relate better when they find out that they aren't perfect and that they didn't have the best life. It also makes me feel for him when finding out about his story with Daisy; it shows his heart and human side.
