For my view , I see Gatsby as being ignorant and naive , at the same time he is also quite arrogant. This makes sense as he is a self-made man. Generally self-made wealthy people will have some level of arrogance because their hardwork brought them wealth and prestige. The problem is that old money families will never see them as equals. He will never be part of the inner circle. Which is why alot of the american nouveau riche families sent their daughters to Europe to marry in to landed and titled gentry.
