While remembering all The Great Gatsby characters may be confusing and somewhat daunting, graphic designer Sam from ‘SomethingSoSam’ designed a Great Gatsby character map customized to Baz Luhrmann’s movie adaptation to help you understand all the primary characters and their plot significance in a matter of seconds.
Sam’s alluringly clean and understandable illustrations are directly based off of Luhrmann’s character designs and costumes so they are easily recognizable to someone watching the film. With minimal text, bright green arrows, one-worded definitions to how each character is inter-connected and Jay Gatsby at the center of it all, you won’t have any problem figuring out who’s related, who’s chasing who and who was murdered by whom. Sam even amusingly includes Daisy’s famous yellow convertible as a character based on its iconic standing and significant role in the plot.
