TGG #1

Nick will be the hero, given his characterization as an unbiased and reliable narrator. He also seems to be repulsed by the upper class socialite environment he's in, giving him a sort of moral credibility. I think Daisy will ultimately play an antihero given how she's kind of a selfish and irritating person, but her portrayal as a victim of Tom's infidelity will give her our support as she, I don't know, works against Tom to reveal his true nature. I think Gatsby will be a villain because Fitzgerald shows him in a secretive and mysterious light, using dark imagery in the scene where he's outside his house.
