Features: Gatsby was born into poverty and fell in love with the wealthy Daisys as a young man. Due to the vast social gap, Daisy married the wealthy playboy Tom Buchanan. Obsessed with reclaiming his love, Gatsby took desperate measures, engaging in bootlegging and eventually amassing a fortune, becoming a mysterious millionaire in high society. At his luxurious mansion, grand parties were held every weekend, entertaining famous figures who came seeking him. Gatsby's prominent social status and his ostentatious display of wealth once again drew Daisy back. However, at this point, Daisy merely treated her ambiguous relationship with Gatsby as a form of (vanity-driven excitement). Once, while driving out, Daisy accidentally killed Tom's mistress. After the incident, she retreated in fear and returned to Tom. Gatsby willingly took full responsibility and was ultimately shot to death by the deceased's husband in revenge.
