    According to Aristotle, a tragic hero must be noble, be flawed, and must have suffered a reversal of fortune. In The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald, the reader painfully follows the main character, Jay Gatsby, as he gets thrown into each of these steps. As the novel progresses, Gatsby also gains sympathy by showing the audience his romantic side as he falls deeply in love with Daisy. At the end of the novel, he is forced to meet his ultimate downfall. However, his cataclysmic ending should not simply sadden the reader, but teach him or her a life lesson.…

    The Great Gatsby is full of amazing instances of symbolism, one of those being how the home of each character reflects the type of person they are. From Gatsby’s factual imitation of some hotel de ville in normandy, to the residence of Nick Carraway that is squeezed in between two huge mansions, the homes of these characters very closely rebound what kind of individual they really are. Gatsby’s residence really brings out that he is quite the garish man, his house being very showy in style. The house that Nick currently owns displays that he is there for a specific purpose, being from a well-to-do family that owns a hardware wholesale business , he definitely could have went and bought a much nicer place. The Buchanans ginormous georgian colonial mansion that is straight across the bay from gatsby’s, shows how they claim to be someone that they really aren’t.…

    When I first read the title, The Great Gatsby, it made the story sound mysterious and appealing. It’s almost as if the use of the word ‘Great’ makes me want to read ahead to see who exactly is Gatsby and why is he so great! I read the biography on Fitzgerald on the first page. Just like Nick, Fitzgerald also attended an Ivy League university (Princeton) and served in the war. Then wear the gold hat, if that will move her; If you can bounce high, bounce for her too, Till she cry ‘Lover, gold-hatted, high-bouncing lover, I must have you!’…

    Every choice an author makes in his/her writing is intentional. No character needs to exist and no action needs to occur, so all characters and actions have meaning. In The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald uses the character of George Wilson as more than merely the spouse of Tom’s mistress. George Wilson 's character is a device which Fitzgerald uses to illustrate the person Jay Gatsby was on the path to becoming before he met Dan Cody, who took Gatsby in and taught him his own way of life. George Wilson is the picture of James Gatz’s future.…

    In Ch 9, F. Scott Fitzgerald elucidates the aftermath of Gatsby’s death, in which Nick desperately tries to gather Gatsby’s close friends for his imminent funeral. As Nick fails to find such people, Fitzgerald reveals that Gatsby, although a man of supposed stature and renown, has made no difference on anyone’s lives, dead or alive, except for Nick’s, who seems to idolize Gatsby; this is apparent as Nick seems intent on taking responsibility for Gatsby’s postmortem affairs, even though he, just like all of Gatsby’s close friends, did not know Gatsby at all, in turn showing that most everyone only feigned admiration for Gatsby, presumably for his wealth. Although he claims to scorn Gatsby, Nick works hard to ensure a proper funeral for Gatsby…
