The 1920s in the United States is an era of economic growth and people have lived a frivolous life believing that their money makes them happy. This is an era of prohibition and liberation of women. So for those who can afford it, this is an era of gatherings, drinking and wild ladies. People at the bottom of society are constantly striving for the top of an economic ladder.
This era in Long Island is Fitzgerald's book of F. Scott, the foundation of great Gatsby. It became the greatest classic of American literature and is known for its comments on social status. By introducing many "identity" oriented characters, Fitzgerald commented on the social life of the people who lived in their twenties. But will it focus beyond resolving social status issues to deeper things? Yes, the characters may always focus on rising to economic well-being, but more importantly they reveal the theme of "great Gatsby". . "Gatsby provided a detailed social image of capitalist cultural pressures in the early 1920s" (Fitter), "Fitzgerald reveals the lack of spirit, carelessness and loyalty among these people. He can not hate them, they are disappointing because they are absurd with their selfless selfishness. "(Clark)
The general deployment of stories and stories is carefully designed to evolve as readers understand their roles. Until the last few chapters become true
The story of the event will be added to the theme. Even so, the role of the character in dealing with these events will strengthen the theme of solitude.
At the beginning of the story, the narrator Nick Callaway made his own opinion. As a narrator, he will only allow the reader to know that he wants them to know his content. He gives the impression that he is "righteous who keeps all judgment" (1 page). But by the end of the story, he reached the conclusion that everyone he was exposed to was shallow and self absorbing. He may give people the full impression of life, but he can see traces of solitude inside him.
Loneliness, money, broken heart, and greed are linked on the "Great Gatsby" page by Fitzgerald's role. Their ideas and actions indicate that they all need someone to love them, but money seems to be interfering with them all the time. Fitzgerald issued a wonderful statement not only at the time of his life but also throughout humanity. He understands that money does not bring happiness, but leaves a lonely blank that can be filled with just loyal love.
Wealth as the theme of "Great Gatsby" Sometimes, the more you have money, the more you are lonely. Wealth can not bring happiness to you. Wealth can kill you internally (and externally). In the novel by Jay Gatsby, Fitzgerald makes readers believe that Gatsby is working hard for Daisy. Near the end, you understand that Gatsby is not pursuing Daisy, he is actually pursuing money. Gatsby liked Daisy and was responsible for the death of Myrtle, which led to his own death. Until he died, he wanted money. Moreover, among all the novels, Gatsby's only "real" friend is Nick. Both Myrtle Wilson and Jay Gatsby struggled for money and status, and they eventually were killed. Tom and Daisy were born with money, and Myrtle and Gatsby are not so, I hope they are. They worked hard to get their immature wealth and eventually ended. Wealth can kill you in your heart. Sometimes, the more richer you are, the more lonely you are.
