  • Gatsby is great because he lives the American dream. He doesn't necessarily achieve it, but in a materialistic way he does.
  • His pure love for Daisy and his generosity (parties at his house) show his difference from the crowd.
  • His dream Daisy's reciprocal love, which he will never receive anymore, is his motivation never to give up during his penny less moments in the war. Additionally he is a great dreamer + hoping person: Until the end he never gives up, what makes him look magnanimous.
  • The last factor of his greatness is the protection daisy experiences by Gatsby in the end of the novel, when he covers her after she killed Myrtle, which leads up to Gatsby's death.
