What is a good thesis statement for a literary analysis using characterization concerning The Great Gatsby?

A thesis statement for any essay depends on what you want
to say.  Therefore, I can only guestimate or throw out some topics and statements for
you to consider, without any idea whether or not they're what you're looking for.  Some
possible thesis statements are:


  • Characterization
    of Daisy reveals that Gatsby's view of their relationship was always an
    illusion.

  • Nick's characterization of Tom and Jordan
    demonstrates that he is an unreliable
    narrator.

  • Characterization of Meyer Wolfsheim is
    stereotypical and reveals anti-semitism on the part of
    Fitzgerald.

  • Characterization of Daisy reveals her to be
    more than just a wicked rich girl who enjoys toying with others'
    lives.

  • Characterization of Gatsby in chapter three
    demonstrates him to be polite, considerate, and a bit shy. 

I don't know if any of the above will help,
but they should provide you with some samples.
