Gatsby made money by buying and selling alcohol and stocks privately at large parties. Gatsby's birth history has always been regarded as a suspense in his works, which is revealed bit by bit-denial, denial-disclosure. The rumors of the guests are good and bad. However, there are also Gatsby's own statements.

"I am a rich boy in the Midwest-all my family members have passed away. I grew up in America, but I was educated in Oxford, England, because my family has been educated there for generations. This is a family tradition. " This statement was discovered by Nick as a lie. Gatsby didn't get rich properly, but he got rich only to attract Snow White in his mind.

Extended data:

The Great Gatsby is the work of Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald, one of the most outstanding American writers in the 20th century. This book not only describes Gatsby's short and flashy life, but also reflects the great conflict between reality and ideal, and it is also a tragedy of returning to the times and destiny.

Gatsby's life consists of countless lies and legends, which is the perfect illusion that best conforms to his imagined identity. Perhaps his appearance was empty from the beginning, or it was because of this unreal existence that he was destined to meet Daisy, meet the most unreal love, and pursue a pure empty love and a false and too happy past with his empty life.
