Great Gatsby Ch. 1-3

Gatsby is a hero because we don't know much about him right now, but he could turn out to save another characters life or benefit the society immensely. Nick Carraway is going to be a anti-hero because he is educated and seems to mean well, but he seems self-oriented because he says, "And, after boasting this way of my tolerance, I come to the admission that it has a limit," (2). Tom Buchanan and Myrtle are going to be a villains because Tom is cheating on his wife with Myrtle and Tom didn't even Wilson the time of day. Tom also shows a violent outbreak when he breaks Myrtle's nose when she begins to chant Daisy's name. Daisy will be an anti-hero because she means well but she married Tom for his money, not for love. T. J. Ecleburg is a hero because he has the eyes on his sign that watch over everything and he doesn't seem to have done anything wrong other than the fact that he is vanished.
