Ella Kaye, the newspaper woman, infiltrates Dan Cody's yachting life, becoming his mistress before abruptly locking the ailing millionaire away and seizing control of his fortune upon his death. Her ruthless betrayal marks the end of Cody's era and indirectly shapes Gatsby's path to self-made myth. A spectral antagonist, she embodies the predatory underbelly of Jazz Age opportunism.

Description
