Is Gatsby a mystery?

-
I believe Jay Gatsby is a mystery in "The Great Gatsby" because even though he throws parties all the time and different people show up, even uninvited guest, no one really knows who he truly is. Some people get to talk to him or see him, see his cars and, his house but no one knows where he came from.
People make up or hear stories about Jay Gatsby and believe they are true rumors because they don't know him. He does tell Nick a little about himself so he can gain his trust but Gatsby Isn't fully honest to Nick about his life, so at first in the story no one really knows Gatsby well.

I don't feel like the book "The Great Gatsby" is a mystery because the author in this book gives the reader as much detail so the reader can picture what happens in the book and scenes.

INSIDE OUT

Are both Prufrock and Gatsby different in the inside? Prufrock feels lonely and just wants to feel loved, to love someone. He feels like he has no one even though he has seen different people.  Now Gatsby, he is very lonely and he is in love, all he wants is to get the love of his life back, to go back to how things were before he left to war. For me he is too obsessed with Daisy. The way they feel in the inside is different from the way others see them and think of them. People think Prufrock is okay and there might be nothing wrong with him. People see Gatsby as a very rich man who knows a lot of people and has lots of friends. That hes happy for what he has and people he might know.  People wouldn't think hes lonely in the inside. Personally, I know people who try to act like someone else on the outside but in the inside they are this other person who's not okay, who feels alone and sad. Lot of people do that for many reasons, we all sometimes appear as something else on
