F Scott Fitzgerald Main Characters
1,064 wordsThe Beautiful and Damned Starting my essay I would like to say that I really enjoyed the book. But I also believe that the way F. Scott Fitzgerald writes and portrays the main characters and the society that they live in is extremely cruel. The story depicts a young couple that came from very rich families. Their life values and believes added up to careless life with no work but full of entrainment, fun, show and alcohol. They knew what money was and what they could give a person. But did not h...

829 wordsDust in The Great Gatsby In the novel The Great Gatsby, F.

Ethan And Mattie Ethan Frome
3,245 wordsThe Vilification of Women in The Great Gatsby and Ethan Frome Women have played an important role in American literature. Unfortunately, this role was often negative, without cause to be so. Edith Wharton's Ethan Frome and F. Scott Fitzgeralds The Great Gatsby are examples of American literature in which women are needlessly vilified. In The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald presents three women in an especially bad light. Daisy Fay Buchanan, the narrators cousin, is the most obvious. Daisy is selfish an...
