The characters in The Great Gatsby though spoiled with riches‚ do not stray far from their self-serving goals to do anything other that to look out for their own self-interests. It seems as if no character in the book‚ besides Nick‚ ever give thought to the results of their actions beyond their own initial perceptions of the situation.
