The Great Gatsby is a tale of romance. In this novel, Gatsby portrays the role of a romance hero. He fits the description by having a mysterious past with a mysterious orgin. There are plenty of romantic motifs that can proove why these statements are true.
To be a romance hero you must have faithful followers which in Gatsby's case are Jordan and Nick. However, Nick is the remaining friend in the end after showing loyalty by organizing and attending Gatsby's funeral. With the faith friends comes the wise old man by the name of Myer Wolfshine. If it wasnt for Mr. Wolfshine, Gatsby would not have had all the riches he was able to obtain.
A romantic hero must have a dream. Gatsby's dream was Daisy. The reason he even threw parties at his house was to find her. Without dreams the romance will never be real. This hero also needs a click, a magic group of 3. In Gatsby's case the click involves Daisy, Nick, and the one and only Gatsby.
Afliation with the magic 3 means there must be a magic moment. This magic is between Gatsby and Daisy sharing their first kiss. No romance is complete without the first kiss. With that first kiss means ther was a cause for the situation to have esculated. Gatsby's number one follower steps up to the test by helping the two meet in arrangement of a tea party. Nick shows no signs of betrayel unlike everyone else who interacted with Gatsby. They were friends with Gatsby when he threw parties and had money but when he died, The Great Gatsby no longer mattered.
In conclustion The Great Gatsby never found his lover in the end. His life ceased with several gunshots to the back. His life of romance was over with no warning. The only thing to know is that Gatsby was a man of these true romantic qualities and deserves all that recognition.
