Daisy Buchanan is a beautiful and charming young woman who can steal a man’s attention through a mere glance.

Her inner beauty and grace are short-lived, however, as Scott Fitzgerald reveals her materialistic character.

Love is portrayed as society’s primary concern in literature, and is represented as a main concern in today’s society .

The Great Gatsby As A Tragedy A hurried read of F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby can generate a tragic impression. The deaths of three of the main characters and the failure of Gatsby and Daisy's romance can be viewed as tragic. However, a deeper analysis of the book reveals a much deeper tragedy.

Gatsby creates an identity for himself as a wealthy man, who lives a glamorous life by throwing huge parties, and is known by the most prestigious figures in New York. What the partygoers don’t realize is that the parties and his wealth is all in the hopes of rekindling with his love from the past, Daisy. In the novel The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald tells the story of a young man named Jay Gatsby, who came from nothing, and built up to be everything that he had hoped and dreamed of being. However, his one dream did not become a reality due to misfortunate events. All the money in the world couldn’t make Gatsby happy, as he died as his true self, not the identity he created for himself.

In The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Gatsby’s hold of the past and his pursuance of his own American Dream ends in certain death. Throughout the story, Gatsby believes that his passion can sway Daisy to leave Tom. These events lead him to relentlessly chase wealth in order to gain social status that is worthy of Daisy. However, the story does not end according to Gatsby’s ideals. Fitzgerald utilizes symbolism to demonstrate Gatsby’s tragic flaw, his chasing of a dream that is already dead.

Despite the outdated settings and characters in many novels, the stories and the lessons they contain are still valued and relevant to a contemporary society. Books provide the reader with an escape from the adversity of reality and place them in the fantasies and dreams of the main characters. Along with emotion, a novel should teach people lessons and the morality of actions and their consequences. Although some books may vainly appear as obsolete and forgotten, each story shares a different voice and a different perspective of the world. In The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald, the rivalry between East Egg and West Egg directly relates to the time period and to modern day society. The idea of progress and the betterment of an

To begin with, in the beginning of the novel the reader discovers just how rich Gatsby his, and how luxurious his life is. However, the audience later finds out that this his image of wealth all aspires to win back his true love Daisy. The beginning is important for it’s the reader’s first insight into Gatsby’s dream, and for awhile many believe that it would come true as well as Gatsby did. For instance, Nick illustrates Gatsby’s emotions, when Daisy is turning his house “I think he [Gatsby] revalued everything in his house according to the measure of response it drew from her [Daisy] well-loved eyes” (Fitzgerald 91). Thus, this demonstrates Gatsby dream of making Daisy happy with his materialistic items, and luxurious lifestyle. It also relates to his hopes of making Daisy happier than her husband ever would, and making her see that as well. In addition, while at Gatsby’s house, Gatsby shows Daisy his shirts from england, Daisy confesses, “They’re such beautiful shirts (...) she sobbed (...) I’ve never seen such beautiful shirts before” (92). In reference, the real reason why Daisy is so sad and emotional is because she is such a materialistic person, that she becomes overwhelmed by Gatsby’s wealth, and also wishes she could live with Gatsby, and his lifestyle. Because of this, Gatsby begins to believe his hard work has payed off. To put all points forward, Gatsby uses his wealth to pull Daisy back into his life, and hopes that by showing her his

“In our lives, change is unavoidable, loss is unavoidable. In the adaptability and ease with which we experience change, lies our happiness and freedom.” Through this quotation, Buddha states that you cannot avoid change and loss in life, but the way you adapt to the change and how you react to the change will affect your happiness and freedom. This is indeed the case in F. Scott Fitzgerald novel “The Great Gatsby” in which the character of Jay Gatsby dedicates most of his adulthood to becoming rich so he could marry Daisy Buchanan. However, by the time Gatsby obtained his wealth, Daisy had been married to Tom Buchanan. Despite that, Gatsby does not accept the loss of Daisy and still tries to marry her. If he had accepted the loss of

Last night was all a blur. It was definitely one of the most memorable night of my life. Everyone was all done up in expensive and ornate clothing. I felt so plain in my simple party dress. I silently drifted through the crowd choosing to observe the crowd rather than joining in on their festivities. After all, the only way I was able to obtain an invitation was through work. You see, my boss wanted me to write an article on Gatsby’s party. I was refused at first but my boss knows some things about me that I do not under any circumstances want exposed.

Moreover, Gatsby travels great lengths in order create a visually display of his expansive and admirable collection of materialistic wealth, as a means of displaying to Daisy the possible luxuries and wealth she could possess in exchange for her love. Specifically, following Gatsby’s initial acquaintance with Daisy Buchanan, he insists that they relocate their ecstatic reconciliation to his house. Upon exposing Daisy to his fortress of luxurious solitude, Nick observes that “He hadn't once ceased looking at Daisy, and I think he revalued everything in his house according to the measure of response it drew from her well-loved eyes” (96 - 97). Therefore, this indicates Gatsby’s inability to separate his illusions from reality, alternatively, on account of his wealth, he mistaken believes that if he could fulfill Daisy’s materialistic needs, she would repay him with her infinite affection. In conclusion, throughout Gatsby’s conquest for the affection of the beloved and internally flawed Daisy Buchanan, he becomes the “boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past” (189). Regrettably, Gatsby’s illusion and longing desires for Daisy consume himself, thereby allowing him to falsely believe that his vast fortune will provide contentment, whereas, in reality his fortune and lifestyle only mask the inevitable destruction of himself.

Gatsby does not belong to his own class and he is not accepted by the upper class, therefore he becomes an exception. Because of disappointment of being looked down upon and impossibility of accept by the upper class, he has nothing left except his love, which is also his “love dream”. Gatsby’s love for Daisy has been the sole drive and motive of his living. Gatsby’s great love is also the root of his great tragedy, because he is desperately in love with a woman who is not worthy of his deep love. Fitzgerald offers Gatsby with the spirit of sincerity, generosity, nobility, perseverance, and loyalty. All his good natures can be seen

The Great Gatsby written by F. Scott Fitzgerald tells us a variety of themes-justice, power and greed, The American dream and so on. The Great Gatsby is regarded as a brilliant piece of social commentary. The Great Gatsby concerns the wasteful lives of four wealthy characters as observed by their acquaintance, narrator Nick Carraway. Like Fitzgerald himself, Nick is from Minnesota, attended an Ivy League university, served in the U.S. Army during World War I, moved to New York after the war. The narrator, Nick, is a very clever and well spoken storyteller. Nick confides with the reader in the first pages of the novel. He says that he needs to tell the story of a man called Gatsby. It is as if Nick has to overcome disappointment and frustration with a man who has left him with painful memories. This thesis is valid for three main reasons. First, it is evident that dreams and memories are central to the overall plot and meaning. Secondly, the American Dream is a “green light” of desire that Gatsby never stops yearning for and something he will not forget over time, even as he is dying. This is so, even though no one cares about Gatsby or his dreams after he died, except maybe Nick. Finally, the fact that Fitzgerald uses flashback; that Nick is telling us about a main character after he has already died and before the story begins, is ultimate proof.The Great Gatsby is structured by Nick’s memory. Fitzgerald’s clever use of flashback throughout and within the
