The story of The Great Gatsby is a novel that consists of a historical American context during the Harlem Renaissance. This was an excellent novel published in the 1920’s and was considered one of the best novels of its time. The author F. Scott Fitzgerald was an incredibly talented poetic author. Fitzgerald was able to emphasize and create the mood of the generation in a political time. The novel The Great Gatsby is a remarkable novel but also a very sad one. The novel took place during an age or era known as the “Roaring Twenties” which was a time of American wealth. Politics and corruption at the time is possibly what made Gatsby to be the business man he was.

The book The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald has been read in schools for decades. The experience is different for everyone. Some may love this book while others just purely hate it. I have to say I am in between loving and hating this book. I do like the look into the lives of the rich of the 1920s and I did enjoy the overall story. However the cheating I wasn’t fond of. I do understand that is what happens with the rich so I do enjoy the fact that it historically accurate. Another topic that I will touch upon is the drunkenness and reckless driving portrayed, quite accurately, for this time period.

The Great Gatsby is often considered to be the great American novel. However, this notion must be challenged because the ideas that F. Scott Fitzgerald presents in his classic masterpiece clash with the distinctly “American” ideologies that citizens of this great country have been spoon-fed since birth. Ideas such as capitalism, the American Dream, and self-actualization are presented in one form or another and then systematically dismantled to show just how fragile they really are. In his famous novel, F. Scott Fitzgerald emphasizes the despondency of class struggle and other Marxist ideologies through literary devices such as setting, imagery, and character development. Ultimately, Fitzgerald offers a negative critique on how social

The American Dream is a philosophy based off of starting from nothing and achieving family, fortune, and fame. The belief that self-determination and hard work will lead to the attainment of the American Dream is strongly tied with the American culture. This philosophical idea, however, is not portrayed in The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, which is often referred to as one of the “Great American Novels” to date. In terms, a “Great American Novel” should portray an honest and well-remembered character, rather than a character such as Jay Gatsby who achieved his fortune through illegal business and dies without recognition towards the end. Although Gatsby lives a lavish lifestyle that many people fantasize about, Gatsby’s American Dream is never fully fulfilled due to his failure of not having a family, successfully obtaining money the righteous way, and leaving a legacy; therefore, the novel The Great Gatsby, should not be entitled as the “Great American Novel” today.

How does reckless driving affect one's outlook on life? and in what way does it affect others? A lot of characters possess the trait of reckless driving in Fitzgerald’s book “The Great Gatsby”. They make mistakes, and do not think about how the outcome will affect them later. Some of them try to run or hide from their mistakes; they let other people fix it for them.

“Daisy, Daisy, Daisy!” It is all Gatsby thinks about, doesn’t it get annoying? No, suck it up because the next 787 words are all about Daisy and her association with symbols, her use of symbols, and herself as a symbol. How’s that possible, she’s 100% human in The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald? Don’t worry, the vacuous space upstairs will soon be filled. So, let’s dive in, like a dead “Gatsby” in a pool.

Jay Gatsby is one of the most crucial characters in the book of The Great Gatsby and throughout the book he isn’t happy at all because he lacks the ability to deeply look at other options other than just his love and dream, Daisy. He invariably fails to look at other ways to be happy because in his eyes, his only option that he observes is the option to get Daisy Buchanan back as soon as possible, but he has one problem; Tom Buchanan who isn’t willing to let go of Daisy. Gatsby 's only way to happiness is having Daisy back so that he could recreate the past. Gatsby had the opportunity to attend Oxford and get a heavy education with a great promising future ahead, instead his wish to get back home and reunite with Daisy again. He never saw

Most Americans work hard to be better than others, achieve perfection, and hide their imperfections. Americans will do anything to hide their imperfections. This idea is present in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel, The Great Gatsby and in Tennessee William’s play, A Streetcar Named Desire. In The Great Gatsby, Daisy Buchanan, Jordan Baker and Jay Gatsby appear to be living the wealthy and perfect American lifestyle compared to Nick Carraway, a man who was born and raised in the midwest and is renting a small house in West Egg, Long Island. However, Nick realizes that these innocent looking people use white to cover up their corruption and moral dishonesty. This is similar to when Blanche shows up at her sister’s doorstep wearing all white in A

Often when readers describe daisy an image is created of a selfish and shallow woman. This image is confronted multiple times in The Great Gatsby. When the reader considers daisy 's actions throughout the book with the consideration of the time and the men around her choices become clearer and possible to empathize with.

In the book, The Great Gatsby, written by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Gatsby is exemplified through many symbols and idols. Fitzgerald uses cars to represent wealth, success, status, and glamour. As Friedrich Nietzsche states, “There are more idols in the world than there are realities.” Nietzsche’s quote shows how idols and symbols are used to create impressions. Images are powerful and set a stage for others to judge one’s character, enabling human beings to avoid seeing what realities are. Idols are potent enough to mask the truth. In the novel, despite Gatsby 's own insecurities, he is viewed as an idol in society. Idols impact and influence Gatsby’s life and those living around him. Gatsby’s car represents an idol, illustrating his wealth, capturing attention, creating impressions, and covering misconceptions throughout life in the West Egg.

The American Dream has been around for years, and is forever changing. However, its basic principles of determination and purpose have always been around, except during the 1920s when they had become corrupted. This idea was shown throughout The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. The story gives great insight into what life was like during the 1920s from the characters’ perspectives. Through Gatsby’s lavish lifestyle, the readers get to see what the ultimate goal was for the American people at the time. However, what he had was not enough for him since all he ever wanted was to earn Daisy’s love. Gatsby’s dream was symbolized through the green light at the end of Daisy’s dock, which he use to stare at night. Fitzgerald uses the green light to compare Gatsby’s hopeless quest for Daisy’s heart to the unobtainable, corrupted American Dream. He does this by showing how obsessed the characters are with having a life like Gatsby’s, and by having him die at the end of the novel without having achieved his dream.
