The Great Gatsby Daisy And Myrtle

After first glancing at The Great Gatsby, it
didn't seem as if any similarities between the
wealthy, dainty Daisy Buchanan, the object of
Gatsby's worship, and Myrtle Wilson, the bawdy,
mechanic's wife who was having an affair with
Daisy's husband. In fact, it was felt that there
was no comparison at all, because I felt that
other than sharing an abhor able man, there was
nothing else to look at. But after deeper
analysis, there was more to their motives and
personalities go deeper than that. Fo...

American Dream Great Gatsby
504 words
The American Dream, as it arose in the Colonial
period and developed in the nineteenth century,
was based on the assumption that each person, no
matter what his origins, could succeed in life on
the sole basis of his or her own skill and effort.
The dream was embodied in the ideal of the
self-made man, just as it was embodied in
Fitzgeralds own family by his grandfather, P. F.
McQuillan. Fitzgeralds novel takes its place among
other novels whose insights into the nature of the
American dream hav...

Waiting For The Phone Call Waiting For The Phone Goal

The quote material without being real shows the
emptiness of an existence with the realization of
a tainted ideal. Fittingly, this quote from Nick
is placed after Daisy leaves Gatsby. Nick is
imagining what Gatsby would be thinking if he had
understood that the goal, winning Daisy and her
materialistic insubstantiality, was unworthy of
his effort. Fitzgerald does not specifically state
if Gatsby is or is not waiting for the phone call
from Daisy. If Gatsby has realized that Daisy will
not call, ...

Gatsby Dream American Dream

The 1920 s Woman Women prior to the 1920 s were
usually described as proper and prim mannered.

men. During the 1920 s though, females began to
show some boldness and started to move away from
the stereotypes that were placed on them, and
strived to live their lives according to their own
version of the American Dream. The women of The
Great Gatsby and Passing, are portrayed as both
