Similarities And Differences Between The Great Gatsby And Jake Reinvented

‘The Great Gatsby’ by F. Scott Fitzgerald belongs to one of the most celebrated and intriguing novels of all time; it is considered a literary masterpiece of the twentieth century. The story follows the enigmatic Long Island billionaire Jay Gatsby, who is, after years, still besotted with Daisy Buchanan and wishes to reunite. The reader becomes familiar with Gatsby’s character through the eyes of 29-year-old narrator Nick Carraway, who appears to not only be Gatsby’s new neighbor, but also Daisy’s relative. After coming to an awareness of Gatsby’s amorous past with Daisy, Nick makes an effort reuniting the two, and from there a series of unfortunate events take place. The story takes place in 1922, which allowed the author to create an accurate portrayal of the roaring twenties and its lost generation. Because of the novel’s popularity, there have been numerous film adaptations since its

     Another similarity between the works is the idea of the stuffed men mentioned in the poem. There are two characters in the novel that carry this trait. Jay Gatsby's classy demeanor and restrained behavior show what good quality he is made of. Another trait he carries is his love for others such as Daisy and Nick. Even though he loves them as stepping stones to reach his goals, he has the decency to respect their goals in life. His persona and character is best summed up by Nick in the beginning of the novel. He stated: ' There was something gorgeous about him that heightened the sensitivities to the promises of life.(6)'; Another stuffed character is George Wilson. Even though he committed suicide and had a depressed life, he still

The great Gatsby is different but the kinda have there some reason because they both have there freedom which they both but one of the stories went left people started to kill each other people was cheating on eachother okay let's just get too it.

Alienation can be defined as a state of being cut off or separate from a person or group of people. There are many factors that cause people to become alienated: race, political views, social status, etc. The texts “The Great Gatsby”, “The Catcher in the Rye”, and the play “Death of a Salesman” all portray characters who are cut off from the rest society. Despite the character's best effort to fit in, they ultimately fail. The authors argue that one's ideology can cause them to be alienated.

In Scott Fitzgerald’s book version of The Great Gatsby, we can find many differences within the characterizations. Gatsby is portrayed differently in the book than in the movie. For example, in the book, Gatsby was frightened and aware of the fact that Daisy would never be his. 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

In F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel The Great Gatsby, Gatsby is a man who can be compared to Holden Caulfield from J.D Salinger’s Catcher in the Rye. Jay Gatsby and Holden Caulfield are both caught up in their unattainable dreams and first love and as a result struggle with an obsession of their past.

“What is better, the book or movie?” a commonly asked question by many individuals who are curious to know one’s opinion on a novel or film he/she is interested in. The book is usually always better than the movie because the book is more detailed, one gets to know the characters better, and it allows one to be more creative and have his/her own interpretation on what is occurring. In this case, The Great Gatsby is a remarkable 1925 novel written by F. Scott Fitzgerald, which was made into various movie adaptions in 1926, 1949, 1974, 2000 and 2013. Each version takes place in drastically different periods, so each type has its own take on the film, also depending on the director’s vision. This goes to show that the cinema has been trying periodically to recreate F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic, but the attempts of the movies have mostly failed. In particular, the 1974 film decreases its effectiveness in representing the message that Fitzgerald was attempting to demonstrate in the book, which contributes to the book being significantly better than the film for various reasons.

The Great Gatsby written By F.Scott Fitzgerald is a novel about people, mainly Gatsby’s idea of the ‘American dream’ which can be compared easily to The Catcher in the Rye By J.D Salinger. Nick and Jay Gatsby are similar to Holden Caulfield. Nick is like Holden in the fact that they both share ideas of having expectations of people and hope, even though society constantly lets them down with multiple examples showing how people act in their natural state. Gatsby and Holden are much alike because they both have these fond ideas of women and their illusion of their American dreams, with Holden its Jane and with Gatsby its Daisy but they are both disappointed when they realize their ideas are just ideas

Multiple differences lay in the three main literary elements analyzed between the two different media representations of The Great Gatsby: characterization, mood and tone, and theme. Characterizations between the book and movie involved differences in actions and portrayal that better correlated with the drama of television and the subtlety of literature. Mood and tone also shifted in order to better associate with their represented media. Television was more direct and dramatic, whereas the book was more uncomfortable and detail-oriented. Themes changed to target a different audience but focused on the same ideals. The themes of love and loyalty were explored, but instead of focusing on the loyalty between people despite lost love like in the book, the movie focused more on how our love for someone else can dictate our actions. On the other hand, there were similarities between the two medias: the characters were all there and followed the same plot, Myrtle still died, and Gatsby still took the blame for Daisy. The basis of the differences between the movie and the book originated with the differences between the characters’ portrayal; as their actions changed so did how the audience receive the story.

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

The nineteen twenties was a time of lavish parties, the stock market was on the rise and women such as flappers were gaining independence. Despite this, men at the time were still seen as superior and their brutish, abusive, and cheating was considered the norm. In F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby Tom Buchanan and George Wilson are more similar than different, despite the money that determines their fate. This story reveals how Tom and George both have similar attitudes towards women and both are being cuckolded, the only thing that differentiates the two is money and power.

The movie and novel versions of The Great Gatsby are very different yet share the same core concepts. While the movie, directed by Baz Luhrmann, may have introduced new music and a much more chaotic and vibrant scenery, it only added to the wonder of Fitzgerald’s marvelous language. Yet through all of this, the core beliefs of The American Dream, jealousy, and obsessive love ring through like bells in the wind.

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.

Many similarities and differences can be found in The Great Gatsby: both the movie and the novel. One of the major differences between the two works is the initial meeting between Jay Gatsby and Nick Carraway.

The tale of the Jay Gatsby is not only written by F. Scott Fitzgerald in the novel, The Great Gatsby, but also directed and produced into a movie by Baz Luhrmann. Although thematically similar and entertaining, Luhrmann’s adaptation can hardly compare to the intricate and enchanting words written by Fitzgerald. Many differences fall alongside the similarities when comparing the novel and the 2013 movie of, The Great Gatsby, including characteristics of the narrator, relationships and Gatsby’s death.
