Answer:
Jay Gatsby
Explanation:
In "The Great Gatsby," the author Francis Scott Fitzgerald makes a comparison between Gatsby and Jesus Christ to illustrate Gatsby's creation of his own identity. Thus, Gatsby becomes the model of perfection that he conceives for himself (a "Platonic conception of himself") as a young man and persists faithful to it in spite the obstacles from society. Finally, Gatsby's refusal to recognize his self-conception brings him to ruin.
