In the Great Gatsby, the characters have a diversity of having their own secrets within themselves. Jay Gatsby, for example, he is a criminal in real life and he does it in order to get things that he wants. Yet in this quote:

See!" he cried triumphantly. "It's a bona-fide piece of printed matter. It fooled me. This fella's a regular Belasco. It's a triumph. What thoroughness! What realism! Knew when to stop, too - didn't cut the pages. But what do you want? What do you expect?"

He describes that he can buy what rich people have, but experience cannot be bought. Which means that there is a central reason on why he does bad things.

Another character, Nick Carraway, is more of a rightful man who has his certain strict morals which described in this quote:

I am still a little afraid of missing something if I forget that, as my father snobbishly suggested, and I snobbishly repeat, a sense of the fundamental decencies is parceled out unequally at birth.Which he implies that he sees the good in people despite the greed of money that has taken over.
