The characters in both novels play a drastic role in showing the corruption in the American Dream. In Gatsby, Fitzgerald characterizes women as prizes and as being irresponsible, while men are power hungry and will do anything to buy the females, although all of them are bored with their riches. One character, Daisy, is an icon for desire and damnation, and men, in particular Gatsby, love this. They are willing to do anything, willing to "pay and pay twice" (Wershoven 143). Men want her and she is never fully satisfied (Wershoven 143). She is always looking for new amusement and new fantasies. Men take on the position of caring for a spoiled little girl. In Gatsby, there is both a shooting and a car accident that was indirectly caused by the heroine or affected a female, and in both cases society did its best to cover up

In the book he was worried saying, “No telephone message arrived…” This quote shows how he seemed anxious from not hearing from Daisy. In the quote, “Gatsby

They meet their beloved girl and win them in the similar way. Also, they have the tragic end finally in the similar way.

Macbeth is one of Shakespeare's most intense plays and one his most complex psychological studies. It is also a play about which there is a great deal of historical background, which I think you'll find interesting because it reveals Shakespeare's creative process. The play was written in 1605--1606. It's one of the plays where the date is pretty firmly established by internal references to external events, and most scholars have agreed on the date.

Theme is a debatable topic among stories, some will agree and most have their own take. Two great novels that debate themes constantly are The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald written about a young man who becomes super wealthy and Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorn a story of a young women who does not fit into society. The novels The Great Gatsby and Scarlet Letter disagree on the theme that people look to self-improvement to help get what they want, evidenced by plot, tone, and, character.

In both texts, we see characters that struggle with personal identity as a result of rigid social boundaries. For Gatsby this means creating an entirely new persona based on his brief love encounter with Daisy. The illusion that he can ‘repeat the past’ , shapes and moulds him into becoming an individual that he, himself no longer completely recognises. It is almost as though Gatsby is so consumed by the character he has created he almost believes his fabricated truths. This is particularly noticeable when Gatsby explains he “lived

In The Great Gatsby, there are three major female roles who all show a variety of personalities and their importance fluctuates, yet they have a similarity. All of them have worse qualities than the male characters in the book. Nick describes Daisy, one of the women and his cousin, as “a coward” and says “you could see that she never intended to do anything at all”(FITZGERALD, 132). In the book she represents a typical image of “woman” as shy, weak, and sneaky.

Friendship is loyalty but not everyone is loyal only a few are. The Great Gatsby a novel by Scott Fitzgerald. Gatsby is a self made man. Jay gatsby is a wealthy person he only trusts a few people in the novel like Nick Carraway and he is surprised there are people like him. Jay Gatsby shows how thankful he is for what he has and he spends all his life trying to have the American dream with Daisy but she shows dishonesty towards Gatsby.

Romance, love, and destiny. Connections are formed like bridges built of various things; love, trust, money, fate. Some bridges are stronger than others and some bridges connect people who perhaps shouldn’t be connected. The movie “The Great Gatsby” better expresses the romantic relationships and connections between characters. Between Tom and Daisy, whose relationship may have more to do with survival than love, with Myrtle and Tom, the bridge between them connecting two souls searching for something more in life. And then there are bridges like the one between Jordan and Nick, filled with lies and a bridge not often travelled, and if you’re lucky you come across a bridge like Gatsby and Daisy's, which is made of love but filled with obstacles. These bridges play a key part in the story and the movie most definitely does a better job at expressing these connections between characters.

The Main difference is the lying between the two parties, because one of them is trying to hid the truth from the other to make them like or appreciate them more. Some main connections is how Gatsby gained his wealth and Blanche’s age and appearance, and in the end it both end the same way. Gatsby doesn't tell Daisy about how he gained his wealth because he knows that she wouldn't marry a man who got his wealth doing illegal things like bootlegging. Blanche on the other hand lies to mitch about her age, attitude and appearance to give him the impression that she is a classy and respectable women, but Mitch wouldn't settle down with someone like Blanche if he knew her history and what she use to be. Gatsby also lies to hide his past, because he comes from a very poor family and it would be easy to put the pieces together on his wealth. Blanche on the other hand, is trying to hide her very scandalous past where she would exchange favors from random men, which would expose her lies in

Daisy Buchanan’s in the Great Gatsby is Jay Gatsby’s one true love. He throws huge parties in hopes of gaining her attention and winning her over. Her role throughout the Great Gatsby was that her beauty drew the attention of everyone. She is the definition of the American Dream and Gatsby seen her as part of his American Dream. “He knew that Daisy was extraordinary, but he didn’t realize just how extraordinary a “nice” girl could be” (Fitzgerald,149). This quote shows how Gatsby knew that Daisy was right for him. In spite of this women's roles were still not equal to men. For example, it was okay for Tom to cheat on Daisy, but it was absurd for her to cheat on Tom with Gatsby. In the 1920 the ideal woman was supposed to find a husband to take care of them.Marriage was almost a necessity as a means of support or protection. There often was pressure to produce children. (Women’s Rights, 4)

Daisy Buchanan has a similar lifestyle to Tom, she’s wealthy ‘voice is full of money’ and always wore ‘white’ symbolising her purity and wealth. However as a woman of a higher class, there not much she can do in her ‘shallow life’, as she has the money but doesn’t know how to plan events ‘what do people plan?’. This shows that she is not content with her knowledge and understanding of life therefore even with money she isn’t ‘happy’. This leads her to ‘have an affair’ with an ex-lover whom she so adored before she married Tom ‘I did love him once – But I loved you too’. In the novel, Daisy only every seeks true love when she’s with Gatsby but ‘a rich girls don’t marry poor boys’, so due to this social difference between them, she knows the only place she will ever have security is with Tom. Tom describes their affair as a ‘presumptuous little flirtation’ because to Daisy, she knew she was never going to marry Gatsby but to Gatsby it was just never

Gatsby remembers Daisy as the pretty girl from North Dakota he fell in love with when he was in the military. He soon sees that she is different, although he denies it, even to himself. In order for Daisy to have a relationship with Gatsby, when they first meet he lies and says his parents are actually wealthy. This is the first example of how society dictates Daisy’s life. Because of her social status, Daisy must marry a rich man, preferably from old money, according to society. When Gatsby leaves, Daisy promises that she will wait for him, yet she instead marries Tom Buchanan, an extremely wealthy man who her parents approve of. Even when Tom cheats on Daisy, and she is fully aware of it, she refuses to leave him. She loves her status and money so much she will not give it up even at the expense of her happiness.
