Jay Severin=Jay Gatsby
This may seem a bit strange, but I have put some thought into this, and I really think Jay Severin has literally modelled himself on the character of Jay Gatsby from The Great Gatsby.
Jay Severin's real name is James Severin
In the book, Jay Gatsby's real name is James Gatsby.
Severin often lies and claims he graduated from B.U.
Gatsby lies and claims he attended Oxford.
Gatsby lived in the luxurious West Egg portion of Long Island.
Severin is constantly mentioning "The Hamptons"--the modern day equivelant of West Egg.
Gatsby built a mansion.
Severin built a mansion.
The list goes on and on, and I don't think it's a coincidence. I think this man is truly disturbed.
