The Lack of Justice and Karma in the Conclusion of the Great Gatsby and Society

As I approached Gatsby’s estate, I felt God’s eyes following my every movement, beckoning me to enact justice on the man who ripped my beloved wife away from me. The monster stole my wife from me in some sinful relationship without my knowledge and then threw her away like garbage when he was no longer interested. Gatsby hid away in his castle, protected by his wealth, and oblivious to the consequences of his actions. He may have been comfortable thinking that he could escape every situation unharmed, but God sees everything. God did not approve of such a manipulative man with revolting hauteur who expected to go unpunished because of his influence. I was fighting for all the people that Gatsby has wronged, and would prevent this

In “The Great Gatsby” Tom Buchanan had one of the despising personalities out of all the characters. Tom’s personality was a rude, impatient, and cruel type at the beginning. There were no reasons for him to act like that. At the very beginning Tom is one of the first characters that were introduced. His first impressions were that he always had to be in command or be the dominant one. “ Tom who had been hovering restlessly about the room, stopped and rested his hand on my shoulder” (Fitzgerald 10) Even though he is a tall, muscular and broad man he sure does his research and can’t stand the fact that other races can become more superior. “Civilization’s going to pieces,” broke out Tom violently. “It’s up to us, who are the dominant race, to watch out or these other races will have control of things” (Fitzgerald 12-13) Tom still succeeds to being more dominant and controlling by throwing Nick out the car. “He jumped to his feet and, taking hold of my elbow, literally forced me out the car.” “Were getting off,” he insisted. “I want you to meet my girl.”(Fitzgerald 24) Being tall, muscular and with a bad personality, Tom couldn’t have treated Mrs. Wilson worse by hitting her in the nose and making her bleed. “Tom Buchanan broke her nose with his open hand.” (Fitzgerald 37) By proceeding to very end of the book Tom still shows no signs of changing nor does he plan to. For instance Tom was going to sell his car to a garage owner, but decided to change his mind angrily and kept the car. “ The voice in the hall rose high with annoyance: “Very well, then, I won’t sell you the car at all . . . I’m under no obligations to you at all . . . and as for your bothering me about it at lunch time, I won’t stand at all!” (Fitzgerald 116) Even though Tom care about something’s he sure doesn’t care about his old friend Walter Chase since he just left him to rot. “I guess your friend Walter Chase wasn’t too proud

In The Great Gatsby, the author F. Scott Fitzgerald shows the destruction of morals in society. The characters in this novel, all lose their morals in attempt to find their desired place in the social world. They trade their beliefs for the hope of being acceptance. Myrtle believes she can scorn her true social class in an attempt to be accepted into Ton's, Jay Gatsby who bases his whole life on buying love with wealth, and Daisy, who instead of marrying the man she truly loves, marries someone with wealth. The romance of money lures the characters in The Great Gatsby into surrendering their values, but in the end, "the streets paved with gold led to a dead end" (Vogue, December 1999).

Why do we often look up to the higher class? Why do we crave the fabulous lifestyles of the wealthy and famous? Murder, cheating, gambling and wild parties are just some examples of what went on in The Great Gatsby. First of all, the rich were also criminals and may have gotten their endless money in illegal matters. Secondly, most all of the rich characters shown throughout the book were unfaithful to his or her spouse. Thirdly, the wealthy were lavishly wasteful and did not seem to care about others. Finally, a character that expresses immorality the most is Tom Buchanan. In Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, his intentions were for people to learn to know that being rich or the hunger for money can lead to the immoral actions including some

Tom Buchanan is one of the many colourful, intriguing and enigmatic characters of the masterpiece “The Great Gatsby” by F. Scott Fitzgerald. He is the antagonist of the novel and rightly so. He is racist, a hypocrite, an immoral cheater, a short-tempered brute and misogynistic. Tom is also part of an old and out dated sort of world that is being swamped all-round the edges by a new and better society. That is the reason why he is acting so tough and also why he hates Jay Gatsby so much, it is because he is afraid, afraid that the world that he knows and all the old-fashioned values of love, wealth and masculinity will come crashing down on him. He dislikes Gatsby because he is part of the new generation and he got rich by a different way

Tom Buchanan is a strong, powerful, and forceful picture of a man who cares only about himself. He first meets Gatsby in the second half of the book because Gatsby is trying to steal daisy from him. Although Tom is a powerful rich man he is also a coward. He told George “The yellow car that I was driving this afternoon wasn't mine”(Fitzgerald, 140). There were many more ways for tom to give out the information, from turning it to the police or for waiting for george to ask him. Even though Tom offers George false information, eventually leading him to Gatsby's home, he is still less culpable than others. Tom's actions were unwarranted and could have been avoided. This is because his wife was the person who tempted Gatsby first.

The various settings that exist in the two novels add a physical representation to the moral decay of the characters. Each individual location acts as a background to the immorality of the novel, and symbolizes an element in the process of decay based on the events that occur there. Both novels contain locations that illustrate sin, punishment, and escape, and the descriptions of these settings helps reinforce the idea of decay. Geography is an important motif in The Great Gatsby in that different cities and states represent different aspects of moral decay. The large distances between the locations help to depict a component of the immorality itself.

When it comes with the law, justice, and order to justify someone’s death; there is always a person who is the one to cause the death, in this case, Gatsby is the one who dies. However, his death was left uncertain because it’s uncertain on who caused his death. In The Great Gatsby, by Scott Fitzgerald, the death of Gatsby and the responsibility that lead up till his demise is due to Gatsby’s entrapment in his dream world, Daisy’s Selfish wants for Gatsby’s possessions, and Tom’s perspective towards Gatsby.

He is Gatsby's antagonist. Tom has always been rich, he came from a very wealthy family and that is why he likes to do extravagant and crazy things with money. He is quite arrogant, bad tempered, agressive and he shows hints of being racist. He is presented like a not very liked man as the narrator says: “and there were men at New Haven who hated his guts”.

The characters such as Daisy, Jay, George and Myrtle, and the themes such as; crime and loss of innocence in The Great Gatsby reflect the troubles women faced during the 1920s. The twenties was a huge period of change. People all over the United States listened to the same music, wore the same clothes and used the same language. Although it caused a lot of conflict, it was a “roaring” time period. Money was definitely not an issue for the higher class, they bought things like electric refrigerator and radios. It was during the 1920s that radios became popular. Every fourth american had a radio in their home. The most important product that was huge during this time was the automobile. Prohibition had an enormous issue that led to the abuse of women and their rights.

Great Expectations by Charles Dickens and Jude the Obscure by Thomas Hardy both deal with social class and the presence of suffocating social norms. The themes of these two novels are embodied in their women. The female characters in both Jude the Obscure and Great Expectations can be divided into two categories: the “elevated” woman and the “grounded” woman.

In Jude, Arabella is the grounded woman, who ultimately leads to Jude’s ruin, and Sue is the elevated woman, a woman of reason and education and the woman he loves. Meanwhile, in Great Expectations, Estella is the elevated woman, despite her low birth; she is a carefully cultivated seductress with whom
