The primary focus of the American dream is that
hard work will lead to success, respect, and
social status. In Scott Fitzgerald's novel The

Gatsby shows the withering away of the American
dream. George Wilson works hard at fixing cars but
never is successful in life. He gains no social

... 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...

F Scott Fitzgerald Jay Gatsby

The Great Gatsby, a novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald,
is set in 1922 in the New York City area. It is
about the American Dream and those who attempt to
reach its illusionary goals. Jay Gatsby acquires
the wealth and the power of his dream but not the
happiness. We have to wonder why F. Scott
Fitzgerald would write such a book. Was it to
reflect the society of the 1920 s: where either
you had money and the dream, or you were poor and
lived amongst the ashes. You could have the chance
of being like th...

separating each class there was a sound. On West

inheritance but from what they accomplished by
themselves. They worked hard for their money and

It was the most beautiful place that I have ever

me see life from a different perspective. I was
just going to be happy, appreciate what I have, be
open-minded, not take anything for granted, and
love everyone and everything. When I came back
from Ireland I was truly happy, nothing could make
me upset. ...

consider important in guiding our lives. One of
Toms important values is wealth. He was very rich

American Dream Gatsby's Daisy

The theme of human corruption, its sources and
consequences, is a common concern among writers
from Shakespeare through J. D Salinger. Some
suggest that it attacks from outside, while others
depict corruption occuring from within the
individual. In the case if The Great Gatsby and
its protagonists fate, Fitzgerald shows both
factors at work. The moral climate of the Roaring
Twenties, Daisy Fay Buchanan's pernicious hold on
him, and Jay Gatsby's own nature all contribute to
his tragic demise. Fir...
