The Great Gatsby Monologue Analysis

The Great Gatsby is considered to be a great American novel full of hope, deceit, wealth, and love. Daisy Buchanan is a beautiful and charming young woman who can steal a man’s attention through a mere glance. Throughout the novel, she is placed on a pedestal, as if her every wish were Gatsby’s command. Her inner beauty and grace are short-lived, however, as Scott Fitzgerald reveals her materialistic character. Her reprehensible activities lead to devastating consequences that affect the lives of every character. I intend to show that Daisy, careless and self-absorbed, was never worthy of Jay Gatsby’s love, for she was the very cause of his death.

…What Daisy? No, a bad lie got me out in the final, weren’t you watching?

In the classic, The Great Gatsby, the actual author, F. Scott Fitzgerald, quickly begins with a sentence that raises many questions and inferences. Before Nick ends his talk about Gatsby, he finishes with “No-Gatsby turned out all right at the end; it is what preyed on Gatsby, what foul dust floated in the wake of his dreams that temporarily closed out my interest in the abortive sorrows and short-winded elations of men” (2). So, from what Nick says in the beginning, I infer that Gatsby will be fine at the end, and content with himself. However, it seems as if man restricted Gatsby from pursuing his dreams. Using the word ‘preyed’ is an interesting word choice. Usually when I read or hear the word ‘preyed’ I think of animals; so, possibly the people that preyed him were like animals and could not be controlled, they might be wild and vicious toward Gatsby. Dust is typically dirty, so the people that do restrict Gatsby will probably tear him down in a foul and dirty way that is inhumane. I think throughout

The plot of The Great Gatsby, a novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald, is driven by Jay Gatsby's

“The orgastic future that year by year recedes before us” is the unattainable goal of those living in Tom and Daisy’s world—a world where lives are wasted chasing the unreachable (Fitzgerald 180). In his 1925 novel The Great Gatsby, author F. Scott Fitzgerald suggests that making any progress whatsoever toward this aspiration often requires people to establish facades that enable them to progress socially, but that a crippled facade will backfire and cause detriment to its creator. In the passage where Nick realizes who Gatsby is on page 48, Nick observes two different versions of Gatsby—one that is reassuring and truthful and another who “pick[s] his words with care” (Fitzgerald 48). Nick is at first attracted to Gatsby’s constructed

Gatsby cannot be classified as a truly moral person who exhibits goodness or correctness in his character and behaviour. Gatsby disputes most moral damage throughout the novel. Gatsby exhibits characteristics explaining the reason behind moral decay in society. Corruption and lies are responsible for the destruction of humanity. Gatsby’s whole life’s basically is a lie as he created a fake identity for himself. A whole new persona, Jay Gatsby is not even his real name. Gatsby

After reading The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, I was able to gather a small playlist of songs that can relate to the book. The lyrics in these songs relate to scenes, symbols, and different characters in the book.

“On the last night, with my trunk packed and my car sold to the grocer, I went over and looked at that huge incoherent failure of a house once more. On the white steps an obscene word, scrawled by some boy with a piece of brick, stood out clearly in the moonlight, and I erased it, drawing my shoe raspingly along the stone. Then I wandered down to the beach and sprawled out on the sand.

Well I’ll probably never get the pleasure to meet the majority of you lot due to me having to leave because of certain circumstances so why don’t I just tell you what I’m like now instead. I mentioned that I liked the color burgundy because it is a mixture of black and red. Now some of you may be thinking why that even matters and so I’ll tell you why. Those traits that go with those two colors remind me of myself. How, you may ask, I’ll also be getting to that. Now my past isn’t something I’m proud of, but it has defined who I am as a person so to judge me or not won’t change my personality. Well, let’s begin, shall we?

I wish I was a beautiful little fool, oblivious to the motives of both my lover and my husband. As I drive away with the imposter, away from the place where I would have reinserted my power and dominance and received the satisfaction of material wealth, I was blindsided and made to look like the fool I dreamed to be. Your wealth misleads the con hidden underneath your magnificent suits and the extravagant parties thrown under your leadership. Looking at you next to me, heartbroken as if I were the one that betrayed you seems absurd to me in the least. My biggest regret was not leaving Tom but, crying into your crime ridden shirts, wasting tears that could be shed for a more powerful man. Are you really the great Gatsby that others perceive

The people during this time revolved

While most people chase love, few know that it is foolish. One should not chase after love, but allow it to find them naturally. Obviously, Gatsby was none the wiser about that bit of advice. In the story, we see Gatsby chase after his supposedly long lost love, but is she truly his love? With how little time they spent together, how much they’ve grown throughout the years, and all that has happened in both of their lives, does Gatsby truly love Daisy, a married mother of one? Their star-crossed story is the perfect example of a hold on the past destroying a future. This essay will explore their strange and twisted romance while supporting one simple fact. Jay Gatsby was not in love with Daisy.

The novel is set in the twenties, following World War I. The economy is booming, which is crucial for the ability to convey the themes of the American Dream and post-war moods. Set in New York City, the book opens in the West Egg, a new money part of the upper class neighborhoods.

Daisy 's voice is often repeated throughout the book that is always beautiful and never ceases to die at any point throughout the story, hence why Daisy 's voice "was like a deathless song". Nick 's characterization of Daisy 's voice suggest that Gatsby
