The characters of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby represent a specific segment of 1920s American society: the rich hedonists of the Jazz Age. Fitzgerald’s own experiences during this era form the basis of the novel. In fact, several characters are based on people Fitzgerald encountered, from a famous bootlegger to his own ex-girlfriend.
Tom Buchanan. A former football player and Yale graduate who marries Daisy Buchanan. The oldest son of an extremely wealthy and successful "old money" family, Tom has a veneer of gentlemanly manners that barely veils a self-centered, sexist, racist, violent ogre of a man beneath.
