How does the author use the characters' wealth to enhance and add dimension to the story?

  1. I feel like he uses their wealth to show personality and to help build plot, because Daisy is so rich I feel she has high standards, which leads Gatsby to spend years becoming wealthy. Likewise because Nick isn't rich I feel that he has a more open view on certain characters.

  2. I could not agree with Carolyn more. If they didn't have any money then they couldn't have these elaborate parties. Also, in my option unless they're telling the miraculous story from rags to riches they really dont care about the poor.
