Materialism in The Great Gatsby

Materialism can be defined as a concern or emphasis on important objectives, needs or considerations, not an interest or refusal to spiritual value. The acquisition of material wealth is usually the same as the happiness of this country. This was the truth in the 1920s today, it certainly was F. Scott Fitzgerald 's Great Gatsby. Our market economy promotes consumption and makes us think that we need material wealth to satisfy.

"American dream" has important meanings in both novels as well as materialism. In "Great Gatsby", Jay Gatsby is very rich, but still the inside seems empty. He chased America's dream, but eventually he could not find it. In angry grapes, the American dream escapes the Great Depression and involves the difficulty of finding a better life in California. Sandstorms are a series of intense sandstorms that plagued the Midwest in the late 1930s. These storms killed livestock, entered people's homes and food, prevented cars from running, and shone the sun for several days. In Angry Grapes, Dust Bowl robs Jones from Midwest.

The conspicuousness of "Great Gatsby" is a necessary condition for the life of Long Island and it also reflects the United States of the 1920s. Gatsby boasted his car and held a spectacular rally to show off his expensive materials. Gatsby's material and wealth made him very popular. At Gatsby's party, Nick was intrigued when I heard a group of chat about Gatsby. Gossip proved that he stimulated a romantic speculation and he heard his whispers from those who barely find it necessary to whisper in the world "(Fitzgerald 48). Gutby's wealth and political parties caused huge speculation and gossip on Long Island. "Talk" is based on his material. The materialistic nature of the 1920s is everywhere. Some Americans accepted it and some attacked it. This wealthy country is full of materialism for materialistic Americans.
