One of the best examples of a complex character is Jay Gatsby from F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby." Gatsby embodies the American Dream, showcasing ambition and romance, yet he is deeply flawed and driven by obsession and illusion. His tragic pursuit of love and status reveals layers of vulnerability, loneliness, and the consequences of idealism, making him a richly nuanced figure in literature. This complexity invites readers to explore themes of identity, aspiration, and the often harsh realities beneath surface appearances.
