"jay gatsby... appears to be the quintessential american male hero. he is a powerful businessman with shady connections, drives a glamorous car... and pursues the beautiful, privileged daisy," michael kimmel and amy aronson write. in the "handbook of american folklore", richard dorson sees gatsby as a new american archetype who made a decision to transform himself after his first chance encounter with his mentor dan cody, who opens the door to riches in bootlegging. "the ragged youth who some months later (after gatsby drops out of st. olaf) introduces himself to a degenerate yachtsman as jay gatsby has explicitly rejected the protestant ethic... in favor of a much more extravagant form of ambition."
