Ah, thank you for taking my recommendation! I found it a liberating take. I have two copies of it book ready to foist on others.

Loved the main point but also your winding road thoughts we traveled down. Going to be rolling the subtle character around my brain this week to digest.

I am so grateful for Baz Luhrmann’s version. I do a rewatch every couple years and I’m always in awe.

I love the the subtle character. They help us readers understand the story and experience emotions that are sometimes off to the side, but central to what's happening. I may just find my copy of Gatsby and rematch the view too.

Loved this post. And I know what you mean about Betty from Mad Men. In general that show had a lot of characters that seemed simple but then turned out to have more layers.
