Gatsby's Smile

The complex characters and twists kept me guessing, but I'm curious how the author decided to weave these themes into the plot from the start.

The psychological depth was intense, but I found myself rooting for characters I didn’t fully trust. How did others connect with their moral ambiguities?

The slower moments created a tense atmosphere, but I wonder if it was planned to keep readers on edge or if it evolved naturally during writing.
