Great Gatsby Essay Question HELP?

The topic is how a character from the novel, THE GREAT GATSBY, reflects the immoralities of 1920's.

Well, I see your point, but if I was writing this essay, I wouldn't choose Gatsby. I would choose Jordan, Tom, or Daisy. Gatsby is not so much immoral, he just does immoral things because he is a victim of his blind pursuit of Daisy. Jordan is a plain hypocrite (this isn't the exact quote but it's something like this: "I hate careless people...I can be a careless driver as long as everyone else is careful. It takes two to make an accident."), Tom is a male chauvinistic misogynist, and Daisy is completely selfish for letting Gatsby take the blame for Mrs. Wilson's death. I would highly advise choosing a different character. But if you must do Gatsby, then here are some tips and quotes.

-In his mindless pursuit of Daisy, Gatsby practices illegal activities such as selling alcohol during the prohibition.
-He throws extravagant parties to impress Daisy with materialistic things rather than by his piety (which a moral person would do.)
-He has an affair with Daisy when he knows she is already married.

- "Can’t repeat the past?…Why of course you can!"

-"See!" he cried triumphantly. "It's a bona-fide piece of printed matter. It fooled me. This fella's a regular Belasco. It's a triumph. What thoroughness! What realism! Knew when to stop, too — didn't cut the pages. But what do you want? What do you expect?" (Man in the library--this shows Gatsby's ignorance of knowledge and blindness in impressing Daisy with a deceivingly intellectual facade)

-"The truth was that Jay Gatsby…sprang from his Platonic conception of himself."
