This article presents my overall thoughts about The Great Gatsby novel: the book perfectly manifests the essence of elements such as vehicles and mysterious guests. The contact between Gatsby and Nick is unique and consequently flavors the narrative. At some point, he presents an acquainted man whose Owl-eyed specs establish a horrific scene in the chapter. His thrilling revelation occurs at the library, where amazement looms large upon learning the authenticity of each book, with “pages and everything!” (Fitzgerald 45). Notwithstanding, the language of the book is ambiguous and difficult to understand; therefore, I risked missing up on some essential concepts.
Various components of the story do not stand out to me at the conclusion part of the book when Fitzgerald emphasizes the narrative as a parable of the American dream. My discontent with the story is mainly manifested in the confrontation between the Easterners and Westerners. Fitzgerald compromises his narrative by mainly featuring Gatsby and Nick and almost forgetting other characters like Tom and Daisy. Similarly, the prejudice at the novel’s core is fully displayed when the West is portrayed as heavenly and the East as earthy. With the minor exception of the economically prosperous youths, the expression of historical differences in the great Gatsby demoralizes the new generation by associating them with moral bankruptcy and materialism (Fitzgerald 151).
My last thought about the book is how it assumes America’s post-World War II developments. Global controversies such as depression are excluded from the narrative of hedonistic affluence and moral bankruptcy. Ultimately, I observed how Fitzgerald understates the Attributes of people across the nation by giving them inadequate credit.
