shared by Connor P on 24 Oct 11 - No Cached
  • His repeated emphasis on the theme of corruptive wealth—present even in the notes for the unfinished parts of The Last Tycoon—and his depiction of the melancholy implications in the dream of the social aspirer—these represent the core of his commentary on our experience.

#2 the great gatsby the american dream

shared by Connor P on 24 Oct 11 - No Cached
  • There was also F. Scott Fitzgerald, whose masterpiece The GREAT GATSBY (1925) told of a man in search of the elusive bird of happiness, fatally beguiled by America's materialist Dream.

    This quote discusses the reality of the american dream and how it appears to those in search of it. It shows the connection between the jungle, and grapes of wrath

  • Part of Fitzgerald was realistic, aware of the rot festering beneath the glittering surface of his era.

      This article reflects the reality of the time period which the author describes as rotting beneath the "glittering surface". This portrays the theme of apperance versus reality in the novel which symbolizes the corruption and greed which lie under the surface of the beutiful city.

american dream Great Gatsby ethics

shared by Vivas T on 24 Oct 11 - No Cached
  • Fitzgerald's book mirrors the headiness, ambition, despair, and disillusionment of America in the 1920s: its ideals lost behind the trappings of class and material success.

      This quote illustrates the affect of the corrupt and "dissillusioned" state of society in the 1920s on workers and individuals due to their "trappings of class and material success". This clearly hinders individuals of a lower class status from achieving happiness and wealth, or the American Dream, due to the corrupt and greediness of society.

  • In the end, it is inherited wealth and social standing that determine much more of one's destiny than is determined by talent and individual initiative

      This article illustrates the obvious class barriers within society in the early 1900s and displays the need for one to have money or "wealth" in order to amount to anything, similar to the claims of Virginia Woolf in AROOO. In addition, this article also explains the affect of these social barriers in society which do not allow lower class individuals to gain wealth or happiness, thus exterminating the hope toward the American Dream.

    "The publication of This Side of Paradise made Fitzgerald rich enough to marry the high-living Zelda. This autobiographical novel mirrored the shattered dreams and empty, irresolute lives of the young, disillusioned post-war generation."
  • Emily S on 25 Oct 11
     
    Gatsby seems to be a product of the author's own struggles in his lifetime. Fitzgerald's own background of being from a class of new money would affect the way the "old money" class in the Great Gatsby's would be described.
