Gatsby are two wonderful works that contain

story without internal comments from the narrator
and the viewer can understand exactly what is
happening without any intellectual thought

reader to look deep inside the writing in order to
grasp the true effect of the novel and what kind
of meaning is being portray...

... picture in his mind to mundane reality. The
Great Gatsby abounds in touches like these. The
Great Gatsby has inspired probably as much
critical commentary as any other twentieth-century
American novel, but it is so intricately patterned
and tightly knit, so beautifully integrated
through a series of parallels, that it hardly
seems possible that criticism will exhaust the
novel. If This Side of Paradise resembles the
Wellsian novel of saturation, where everything is
included, The Great Gatsby...

Aristotle? s definition of tragedy says that the
story in question should evoke both pity and fear

Great Gatsby American Dream

Fitzgerald essay on Great Gatsby Fitzgerald does a
good job expressing this preoccupation with the
problems of wealth in The Great Gatsby, for
example with the central importance of money, the
dreams, the magical expectations, and of course,

such as trips to tropical islands lying under the

luxury cars to drive home after a long day at the
office. Wealth can buy myriad material goods in
life that a person wants, but it doesn t buy one
of the most important things in life, love- an
untouchable that cannot be bought, an untouchable
that can only be created through relationships and
