...characters are dishonest people who portray their lives as nothing more than living in a self obsessed world while making adolescent decisions about love; all these people care about is living in the now. They lie, cheat, and deceive. This was a time when the economy was booming, spreading prosperous jobs in big town cities. This era saw the large-scale diffusion and use of automobiles, telephones, motion pictures, electricity, and unprecedented industrial growth. People dreamed big, and expected better. Everyone was breaking traditions and experimenting with advanced and diverse goods. Fitzgerald depicts Nick Carraway as a moral guide throughout a novel infused with lies and deception. Fitzgerald utilizes many themes throughout the book; truth versus lies, illusion versus reality, or compassion versus apathy. Within the novel, virtually all of the main characters are dishonest to others or to themselves, which exposes each character’s true self to the reader. Deception is a common trait in The Great Gatsby. Nick Carraway, the narrator in The Great Gatsby, spends the entire novel trying to judge and associate himself with other people. Nick reveals that the woman he loves, ‘Jordan’, is a dishonest woman and a careless person. James Gatz, also known as Jay Gatsby, is fond of Daisy Buchanan, but she had not seen Gatsby for over 5 years. Tom Buchanan is...

...The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, is filled with multiple themes such as, love, power, money, reality, illusion and immortality, but the main focus is on the American dream and the downfall of those who attempt to reach it. Everyone has a dream of what ones future will look like, a future that includes something one might not have now. The novel is largely based around the so called American dream which embodies material items as a way of being successful. Jay Gatsby symbolizes the so-called American dream as he acquires popularity, wealth and love however falls short of this dream. Jay Gatsby is a fabulously wealthy young man living in a gothic mansion in West Egg, New York. He is famous for the lavish parties he throws every Saturday night, but no one knows where he comes from, what he does, or how he made his fortune; making him a very popular person. Acquiring popularity in this fashion did not necessarily guarantee Gatsby had true friends because it was the parties themselves that were popular, not he himself. Nick, Gatsby's neighbor, who was invited to one of his elaborate gatherings; says that they, "conducted themselves according to the rules of behavior associated with amusement parks," again stressing the carefree, stereotypical roaring '20s atmosphere. Much to the partygoers discredit, "sometimes they came and went without having met Gatsby at all." (Fitzgerald 21). This shows not only, that people just arrived to his mansion because his house was the "hot...

...Daisy Buchanan and Jay Gatsby, particularly in the flashback of when they first met in Chapter VIII, expose the absence of love that lies beneath the glitz and glamour of wealthy living. When seen through an archetypal lens, Gatsby’s pursuit of Daisy can be seen as an Archetypal quest where the “golden girl” is a treasure, rather than a love interest (Fitzgerald, 120) (Delahoyde, 1). To Jay Gatsby, Daisy is materialistically the ultimate peak of wealth to be obtained, a metaphor best illustrated in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s choice of descriptive words that portray her in the same way that money might be defined. Daisy is a princess “high in a white palace the king’s daughter”, beautiful and comfortably assured a life of ease due to her wealthy place in society (Fitzgerald, 120). In this novel she is more a material, a monetary symbol, than a person, and this best proved in Chapter VIII (Delahoyde, 1). In a flashback of Gatsby’s to when he first knew and loved Daisy, his descriptions paint a picture of her “gleaming like silver, safe and proud above the hot struggles of the poor” (Fitzgerald, 150). In this glowing portrayal that showcases Daisy’s beauty and power, (both things that she was born with, that she did not earn) her appearance and social class is all that is focused on, she is merely an outward image. From the point of view of a man that supposedly loves her, there is no true substance revealed in Daisy that reflects who she is as a person. This ideal is weaved......

...thwarted love between a man and a woman, but upon closer inspection it is obvious that the novel is much more than just that. The Great Gatsby is essentially a story that reveals the corruption and overall decay of what was affectionately known as The American Dream. The American Dream is described in Chapter 9 as originally being about moral values and the pursuit of happiness. In fact, it is written in the American Constitution that every individual has the right to “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.” This right appears to have taken a twisted turn in the early 1920’s. Fitzgerald portrays this time of decay of social and moral values; these values being discarded for greed and pursuit of selfish pleasure. Jay Gatsby, the title character, is a man who more than anything craves the past. In his past, he fell in love with young Daisy and quickly became obsessed with her. The only problem, that he immediately realized, was that she would only associate or take interest in those with high social status and wealth. To gain her affection Gatsby lied about his family and social status, claiming that he was born into a wealthy family and was going to be attending Oxford after the war on their wealth. “’I am the son of some wealthy people in the Middle West-all dead now,’”(Page 65). Once convinced by Jay’s claims, young Daisy agreed to wait for Jay while he was out fighting the war. However soon after, Tom Buchanan, a very wealthy man from a family of established......

...Fitzgerald’s novel, The Great Gatsby, wealth is seen as the most important thing and without it one is not important. Wealth is shown in many extravagant ways and many in the novel are shown as either the new rich or old rich. Money is considered happiness to most in the novel but to some even all the money in the world is not enough to gain true happiness. Although Gatsby’s parties were seen as fun and extravagant, they were a facade, because all the money in the world couldn’t buy his happiness. Jay Gatsby’s parties are extremely fanciful and flashy and attract many people young and old. The parties are depicted as fabulous and extraordinary when Nick states: There was music from my neighbor’s house through the summer nights....

...Throughout Fitzgerald’s novel, The Great Gatsby, the central character – Jay Gatsby experiences the adverse elements of wealth.

...In F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, wealth being equal to happiness was normal among the characters living in New York. In the 1920's, Americans base their worth on how much money they make, how grand their household-goods were, and the amount of elaborate parties they could hold at their extravagant homes. In the end, the amount of money someone possesses does not determine their morality, spirituality, or their personality. The love of wealth can cause corruption and disruption in people's hearts and this is shown through the behavior of Tom and Myrtle, Daisy's rejection of Gatsby, and Gatsby's plan to redeem Daisy's love. Tom and Mrytle are on two opposite ends of society, Tom is...

...including David Adams Richards's The Lost Highway and Francis Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby. In both novels, the protagonists strive for dreams of winning over the loves of their lives through their pursuit of wealth, rejection of reality, and persistence of ambition. Firstly, Gatsby -- the protagonist of Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby-- follows his dream of achieving Daisy’s love through his growth in wealth. When Gatsby first meets Daisy, he falls in love with her. However, she soon leaves him for her life that is filled with riches. Because Gatsby was a “penniless young man” (Fitzgerald, 149), he was determined to obtain wealth in order to impress Daisy: “He wants her to see his house...” (Fitzgerald, 80). He had great desire to attract Daisy through wealth and became a rich man who owned a beautiful mansion: “It took me just three years to earn the money that bought [the house]” (Fitzgerald, 91). Gatsby’s quest for money demonstrates great initiative to stun Daisy. Similarly, Alex-- the protagonist of Richards's The Lost Highway-- seeks to gain the treasure of his life, Minnie, by gaining wealth. Early on, Alex loses Minnie to Sam Patch, who she eventually marries. However, Alex does not give up on his dream for Minnie. He goes to steal his uncle's winning 13 million dollars lottery ticket because he believes the wealth is the solution to obtain his dream: “The ticket was the life vest of the drowning man” (Richards, 184). Alex thinks that by giving away money,......
