Dan Cody







Jame Gatz is one of the main characters in "The Great Gatsby". The story pretty much revolves around him. When he was 17 he decided to change his name to Jay Gatsby, witch was when he also started his "career". He started to "work" for a wealthy man named Dan Cody. Dan was a softminded and niave person, who was taken advantage of by many women. He had a very serious drinking problem and was often drunk. Gatsby became his steward, mate, skipper, secratary, and over all sitter. Dan Cody trusted Gatsby very much because of the many years of service. Cody died and left $25,000 to Gatsby, witch he never received due to Cody's mistress. Dan Cody is an important figure in "The Great Gatsby" because influences Jay Gatsby alot. He motivates Gatsby to make himself a wealth and sucessful man. Cody's death also englightened Gatsby to the dangers of excesive drinking, which is why Gatsby drinks little.
