What Are The Traits Of The Great Gatsby

This is evidence that he is newly rich because one of the main reasons he acts like this is because he is not accustomed to having such a large amount of money. This is not who Gatsby really is. This is a person who has been created out of money and the freedom to do whatever he wants with it.

In the novel, the Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, every character has an archetype, but Fitzgerald is able to change their archetypes throughout the novel many times. Nick Carraway is a prime example of how Fitzgerald is able to shift archetypes throughout the novel. He is a great example because Fitzgerald is able to make nick the focal point of the action while simultaneously allowing him to stay in the background of all the things that have happened.

He made money his goal, but only sees what he wants to see. He only sees the large house he lives in, the expensive clothes he wears, and the happy people at his parties. In chapter 9, a man Nick called to visit Gatsby’s funeral had “implied that [Gatsby] had got what he deserved.”(pg#), showing how little everyone truly cared for him apart from his money. Gatsby saw the money as a chance at happiness, as a chance at Daisy. The rose tinted glasses he wears prevented him from foreseeing the fake friendships, and his sad, empty funeral that the money would play a large part in causing

According to psychoanalyst Carl Jung, everyone has a collective unconscious. The collective unconscious inhabits human instincts and archetypes. In literature, archetypes are defined as “recurring patterns that bring about deep emotional responses in all readers” (Griffin). An example of the use of archetypes would be in the novel The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. The Great Gatsby tells the story of a man and woman that split up just before the man went off to war. Gatsby, said man, returns from the war only to find out Daisy, the woman, has married. Throughout the novel Gatsby tries to woo Daisy by throwing big parties and showing off his expensive house and car. The Great Gatsby begins in late spring/early summer; Both seasons align with a certain genre, which then contain several literary patterns. Spring and summer can signify the birth of a hero; Gatsby came back to the West egg towards the end of spring and beginning of summer. Autumn can signify the downfall of the main character; Gatsby was murdered in the fall. The Great Gatsby reflects the death & rebirth of Gatsby through the use of several archetypes.

Innumerable literary critics are of the opinion that archetypes, which represent the universal patterns of human nature, shape the structure of a literary work. In his world renowned novel, The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald has readers and analysts attempting to understand the truth behind the enigmatic Jay Gatsby. Throughout the story, it is evident that Gatsby is deeply in love with Daisy Buchanan and his actions are mainly focused on winning her over. Much more subliminally, Gatsby buried secrets that accounted for his mysterious persona; nobody knew his true self. Although there is evidence that shows Gatsby could be a variety of distinct archetypes, it is clear that he mainly presents both the qualities of a classic romantic and a sinister gangster.

Archetypes are used to represent certain people and things, symbolizing the universal patterns of human nature, and it usually recurs throughout pieces of literature. When archetypes are presented to the reader, it makes them digest the work, which makes them think outside of the box. In The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, he utilizes situational archetypes and symbolic archetypes to portray the theme of money cannot buy happiness.

Gatsby has attempted to pull a facade of him having always been wealthy, thus allowing him to be part of Daisy's circle. Gatsby claims to have inherited his vast sum, hiding that he had actually self accumulated it over the years. By

Gatsby, while raised poor, dreamed of wealth as he grew up. When talking to Nick at the funeral, Gatsby’s father, explained to him that though he was poor, he always knew he had the potential of being something great. He said, “Jimmy always liked it better down east...He had a big future before him...he had a lot of brain power”(Fitzgerald, 168). There is no doubt that Gatsby was dedicated. He was seldom able to let go of a goal he set out to reach. Moreover, as

With money, Gatsby believes that anything is possible. He does all he can to buy his happiness, yet he lacks the foresight to see the worthlessness of his efforts.

(Fitzgerald, 65). Gatsby seemed like he was pushing hard to prove that he could be as good as those with the Old Money, but he didn’t seem all that honest about his life, like when he mentioned Oxford. Gatsby had to work to get to where he was able to live comfortably like he is but with how he explained everything to Nick about his ‘life,’ he seems to be hiding something that he doesn’t want anyone to know. “‘It took me three years to earn the money that bought it.’ ‘I thought you inherited your money.’

and they do boggles the mind. If one was to use just a few words. He would

He wants to be the perfect man for Daisy. “We both looked down at the grass –there was a sharp line where my ragged lawn ended and the darker, well-kept expanse of his began. I suspected he meant my grass” (p82). This shows the theme of appearance against reality and how Gatsby wants everything to look presentable and nice for his first meeting with Daisy after five years. He feels like having a lot of wealth, a flashy car and an enormous palace, he can reconquer her love, who is a materialistic woman. He spent years on end throwing parties, to get himself known as a rich man and so that he could attract Daisy.” He wants her to see his house … And your house is right next door” (p79). “I want you and Daisy to come over to my house… I’ d like to show her around” (p.89). Here he is planning on making his dream come true. By having Daisy at his house, he can show her that he is wealthy enough to provide for her what she wants.

This essay will analyse and evaluate a health resource designed for individuals newly diagnosed with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). It appears that it is difficult to estimate the prevalence of COPD due to misdiagnosis (Carrier, 2009) and under-diagnosis (HSE, 2014). The Healthcare Commission (2006) estimates that 3 million people in the UK have COPD and that approximately 2 million of them are undiagnosed. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that more than 65 million people have COPD and that the death rate is projected to increase by more than 30% in the next ten years.

In The Great Gatsby, Jay Gatsby, a man with a poor family background, worked his way up to become wealthy. Ever since he was a young boy he wanted to grow up to be someone who was rich, he explained, “It only took me just three years to earn the money that bought it” (Fitzgerald 90). It took three years for Gatsby to come up with the money to buy his huge mansion lathered with expensive taste. He came

Racism and sexism are the unfortunate realities to exist in our society. Both of said institutions can shape the experiences of people, especially people of color. In order to speak more about this, it is best to define what racism and sexism is. Racism can be defined as the belief in the superiority of one race over another.
