Around the middle of chapter 3 we finally meet Gatsby. There is much mystery surrounding Gatsby both before and after we meet him in this chapter. Almost everyone Nick meets has some extraordinary opinion about him.

A woman at the party from chapter 2 tells Nick, “Well they say he’s a nephew or a cousin of Kaiser Wilhelm’s. That’s where all his money comes from.” (32).
One of Gatsby’s guests in chapter 3 says, “Somebody told me they thought he killed a man once.” And again, “it’s more that he was a German spy during the war.” (44).
Jordan Baker says, “he told me once he was an Oxford man.” “However, I don’t believe it.” (49).
1A. Do you think any of these rumors hold any truth?
1B. How do you think Gatsby got his money?
1C. Why do you think Gatsby throws these marvelously extravagant parties?
1D. What do you think of Gatsby’s character thus far?
