The Great Gatsby Monologue Essay

Improved Essays

Gatsby is so well-known and I wouldn’t want to mess anything up. “Don’t bring Tom,” I warned her. “What?” “Don’t bring Tom.” “Who is Tom’?” she asked innocently. I knew exactly who Tom was, but just in case for any reasons necessary I acted confused. The next day, it felt funny, foggy and damp, so I grabbed my raincoat just in case any unexpected weather was to come. As soon as I stepped into the car, it was raining cats and dogs profusely. Glad I brought my coat. I made my way into the lovely home and Gatsby seemed a nervous wreck for whatever reason, but

    Thesis Statement: I believe that wealth does not immediately define the morals and sins of those who are possession of it, due to many lower class characters partaking in immoral acts, morals being shaped by upbringing, not bank, and that lower class citizens have a wealthy and greedy mindset, but are, in fact, not wealthy themselves. Subclaim 1: In The Great Gatsby, a majority of the characters portrayed as being part of the lower class are shown to be just as immoral as those who were born into wealth. Evidence 1: “I was one of the few guests who had actually been invited. People were not invited—they went there.…

    Throughout “The Great Gatsby”, published by award-winning author F. Scott Fitzgerald in 1925, multiple characters are shown to undergo major changes in their personalities or the way they are portrayed. Be it the concept of Daisy as a pure, angelic being at the beginning quickly morphing into one of her as a superficial person, or the perception of Gatsby as a rich, enigmatic man contorting into one of him as a naïve and blind protagonist, each character’s development affects the book’s plot and works for character development. At the forefront of this development is the narrator himself, Nick Carraway, as he changes radically to understand the world around him. Take, for example, the way that Nick’s naïveté in the introduction is overtaken, resulting in him becoming…
