James gatz Obituary. James Gatz, better known as Jay Gatsby, was murdered in his pool in September of 1922. Gatsby was born in North Dakota to a farmer, Henry Gatz. Gatsby worked very hard during his life, partly for Dan Cody. He worked with Dan Cody for five years, and when Cody dies, he attended Oxford for a short period of time. Soon after, Gatsby joined the US Army's First Division during the war. Later, Gatsby worked with a man named Meyer Wolfsheim, whom some say led Gatsby to a fortune.
In this passage, Gatsby becomes the archetype of a hero. The shiftless and unsuccessful farm people who raised him seemed hardly his parents at all. Like Oedipus who was raised by foster parents, Gatsby creates an identity that is not defined by the parents who raised him. see the mentor in Cody, and the student in Gatsby. Although I am not sure what he learned during those years, I am confident that since Cody took him under his wing and cleaned him up this had great significance in creating a new life for James Gatz, I mean of course Jay Gatsby.
