The Great Gatsby By F. Scott Fitzgerald

According to the newspaper company The Telegraph, daisies can become “serious weeds” and have the ability “thrive in generally inhospitable conditions.” This informative description of a common daisy mirrors F. Scott Fitzgerald’s character, Daisy Buchanan. In his novel, The Great Gatsby, Daisy tries to preserve the stability of her wealthy lifestyle through her marriage with Tom Buchanan instead of pursuing true love with Gatsby. Daisy becomes monotonous and dependent on wealth to act as an equilibrator of her life. Her dependency becomes uncontrollable, and that like that beautiful, innocent flower, she becomes a vile weed rooted in corruption. Fitzgerald implements Daisy as a way to convey the innate destructive property of wealth; it

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.

Life is a very abstract entity that humans can interpret and perceive in many different ways. Usually, the way one looks at life is a direct reflection of their character and their beliefs. The way one looks at life also determines their level of perspective, or whether they have it at all. In The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald compares and contrasts the different ways humans can perceive life. Tom, a cocky and rigid ex-football player, is selfish and looks at life through a single perspective, zoomed in on him. Gatsby, an extremely mysterious and wealthy man, also looks at life through a single window, but contrary to Tom, his viewpoint is fixated on the love of his life, Daisy. Nick, the common narrator of the story, looks at life

The Great Gatsby, a novel set in the city of New York during the 1920’s, regards the novel’s pivotal character, Jay Gatsby, trying to win back the love of his dreams, Daisy Buchanan, back while wrestling unattainable social status, distorted societal values, and all of this amid a hopeful heart. This time period, called The Roaring Twenties, encompasses all of what Gatsby goes through in his journey of trying to live “The American Dream”. In F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, the false values of society are brought out through underlying life lessons throughout the novel’s main character, Jay Gatsby’s, life.

You can’t change the past the outcome will be different each time. There’s no guarantee that the outcome is going to be what you want or like, because each time the circumstance have changed. In The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, tells of a man name Gatsby who came from a poor upbringing believed he was destined for greatness, and set out to obtain the American dream, and wanted to be acceptance by the rich society. While in the military he met Daisy Buchanan, who ended up symbolizing everything he wanted wealth, class, and being part of a high society. She was like gold to him, and the idea of her inspired him to pursue his dreams of having it all. I disagree with Gatsby who believed he could change the past, it’s okay to remember the past, but when it consumes the future then he is stuck hoping for something that has long passed him by, or no matter how hard he tries he cannot duplicate it.

In The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Nick Carraway tells the story of his life in New York and his encounters with Jay Gatsby. He tells the story of how Gatsby’s death occurred and every event leading up to it. Somehow, everything leads back to three characters; Jay Gatsby, Tom Buchanan, and Daisy Buchanan. In the novel, everyone played a role in Gatsby’s death but the person who was most responsible was Daisy with help from Tom and Gatsby.

The Great Gatsby includes many forms of important literary elements. The element that stands out the most is conflict. Throughout The Great Gatsby many conflicts arise and the main character deals with some very interesting situations. The author, F. Scott Fitzgerald, does a tremendous job of allowing those conflicts to sneak up on the reader. In The Great Gatsby, the amount of conflict surely increases towards the end, and both internal and external conflict are being shown throughout the book.

In order to achieve her desires for power, Daisy portrays innocence, requiring her to take action to preserve the image; ironically, to save the sanctity of her marriage, Daisy must forsake purity for security.

The classic novel, The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald is a story that uniquely captures the transformational period of the 1920’s in America. It elegantly flows between conflicts of new money, young love, and care-free parties, illustrating the diverse issues of these influential times into captivating characters, all of whom gossip and live in the drama of the age. Most of the time, the drama is centered around money and wealthy people, because nearly every character in the book identifies people by their wealth rather than their personality. This materialistic view constantly creates conflict and tension between characters, which leads readers to see that people should be assessed based on their core qualities rather than their luxuries. However, in the 2013 film adaptation directed by Baz Luhrmann, this theme is obscured, particularly in the portrayal of the relationship between Daisy and Gatsby, and various cinematic techniques. From the novel to the film, the ironic conveyal of the theme of material wealth should not define a person’s worth more than their character was lost, thus weakening the prominence of the theme throughout the film.

F. Scott Fitzgerald once said, “First you take a drink, then the drink takes a drink, then the drink takes you”. “The good life” can quickly dwindle into loneliness and sorrow, as portrayed in his masterpiece of a novel The Great Gatsby. Main character Jay Gatsby is an exceptional example of this. As Gatsby wanders throughout the novel trying to impress his lost love, Daisy Buchanan, throwing lavish parties and buying her useless things, only to find himself heartbroken and, tragically, dead. Is it better to have loved and lost, or to have never loved at all?

F. Scott Fitzgerald’s 1925 American novel entitled The Great Gatsby is an outstanding novel that follows the summer of 1922 story of a cast of characters who live in the prosperous Long Island. Directed by Baz Luhrmann, the 2013 film adaption of The Great Gatsby is a traditional, yet slightly radical translation of the novel. The film keeps the majority of the novel’s aspects, but some changes needed to be made in order for the film to be more appropriate for the modern audience. Some of the changes include the music score, and Jay Gatsby’s ending, and the character Nick Carraway’s situation. Along with the differences, there are still major scenes that are almost literally theme same as the novel such as the throwing of the shirts scene and the eyes of Dr. TJ Eckleburg. It is the combination of the two aspects that develop and enhance the film and novel relationship.

The original conception of the American dream is that there is equal opportunity in being able to achieve upward mobility. However, in the 1920’s that dream had deviated from its initial idea, and transformed to the achievement and flaunting of affluence and engrossing oneself in debauchery. The Great Gatsby, written by F. Scott Fitzgerald, is not only a story about the death of the original American dream, but also sheds light on the American nightmare: the idea that one caves into the corruption of the dream and fails. Jay Gatsby flounders in his attempt to achieve the American dream due to his blindness to the world around him, and his inability to release his grasp on the past and progress forward constituted by his impractical and ceaseless pursuit of Daisy Fay Buchanan, eventually directing himself towards the path of a nightmare.

F. Scott Fitzgerald is one of the most recognized names in American Literature. This is true because of his book titled The Great Gatsby. This work of his seemed to cast a shadow over the rest of his novels and short stories. Although many people may not know about a story called Babylon Revisited, it is definitely one of Fitzgerald’s finest stories and one that is worthy of praise and further analysis.
