Plot Flaws in The Great Gatsby: The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald, was a novel that epitomizes the time in our history known as the roaring twenties. It was a time of great extravagances and frolicsome attitudes. The novel also revealed the darker side of this time with its underlying themes of greed and betrayal on the part of many of the characters. The novel as a whole seems to be a very well thought out piece of literature with little or no flaws. However, if studied a bit harder several defects can be spotted. These include such things as shifts in setting, sequence manipulation, and shifting of narrators. The setting of a novel is very important to the overall plot. It can help define the mood and can give

Gatsby was a gorgeous man who spent his whole life sleeping, Dreaming up his spectacular ending, with Daisy for safekeeping. But while he was asleep he missed out on the harsh reality: Below his rose tinted sleeping mask, he was a Buchanan wannabe. Gatsby often stood with his arm outstretched in longing, Towards the luminescent green light, whose distance seemed prolonging.

Jay Gatsby is a very wealthy man, who lives on the West Egg of the Long Island Sound (Fitzgerald, 5). This wealth along side the massive parties he throws is the reason for his greatness. Later on in the book he takes the blame for running over Myrtle Wilson (Fitzgerald,143). This is the hamartia because he takes the blame. Also It was at his own free will to let Daisy drive and continue to drive after hitting Myrtle Wilson. Soon after this discovery, George Wilson, Myrtle’s husband, kills Gatsby as well as himself. After his death, we read about how determined he was to become great (Fitzgerald, 173). The schedule that Jay Gatsby had set out was structured in a way that he could only improve. His discovery brings a new feeling of compassion

Love is something that is different for everyone. Some people are willing to go to further extents than others in order to win their true love. F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel, The Great Gatsby, has Jay Gatsby, a man whose life is revolved around one goal: love. His goal is to be reunited with Daisy Buchanan, the love he lost five years prior to the story. Gatsby's goal takes him from living in poverty to living in wealth. It then lead him back to the arms of his lost lover, then eventually to his death. If Gatsby would have just let her go none of that would've happened. Some of it was good and some of it was bad. He has a very ongoing and persistent personality that can be questioned. The debate of a stalker or lover, his romanticism, and being hopeful but foolish for loving daisy, all are pieces of his personality. These are the Three traits that ultimately leads to his death.

Near the end of the novel Gatsby’s life starts to go into a downward spiral. He stops having his parties, he is losing Daisy yet refuses to believe it and is in possession of a car that was involved with hitting Myrtle. After he is shot, people who would be considered friends of his no longer cared about him. They did not respond to Nick when he tried to reach out to them and did not attend his funeral. Nick was the only person that was there for Gatsby even though he knew him for the least amount of time. Nick tried calling many people who knew Gatsby, but they all did not feel the need to attend the funeral or had better and more important plans that they would rather attend. At one point, after calling a man that would attend all of Gatsby’s parties, Nick says “After that I felt a certain shame for Gatsby--one gentleman to whom I telephoned implied that he had got what he deserved.

In the novel the Great Gatsby by Fitzgerald the antagonist Tom Buchanan, the husband of the protagonist Daisy is described by the author as an arrogant, rich and powerful.

After Gatsby's death, news was spread all throughout New York about Gatsby and Daisy Buchanan by the butlers. Reporters knowing that nobody want to Gatsby's funeral made them wonder why she wasn't there. Tons of journalist wanted to interview her. Daisy never responded to them, but one day a New York Times reporter asked for her, and she was finally ready to talk about what happened. That reporter asked ten questions and here they are, along with Daisy's responses.

Is Tom most responsible for Gatsby's death? Daisy? Myrtle? Gatsby himself? Give reasons why or why not each character is implicated in the murder.

Failure is different for all people, To Each His Own, if you will. For this reason, the way in which failure is presented as well as the effects of the failure are key elements in most texts. In fact, the failure depicted in The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald and To Each His Own by Leonardo Sciascia is a great example of how failure can be similar, yet so different depending on the circumstances. Specifically, the similarities and differences lie in the ways that the main characters, Jay Gatsby and Professor Laurana respectively, cause their suffering, as well as how their failure is reflected upon. Consequently, the end result of their conquests both end in death caused by stubbornness and ignorance. As a result, both novels are effective

At the end of the book Jay Gatsby paid for his consequences for living all his life with one dream. He did get close with Daisy but because he did he had his life taken away from him. He was murdered because Daisy was too conceded to admit to her mistake of hitting Wilson's wife Myrtle. Gatsby paid for her mistakes. If Gatsby had not become close with Daisy, Tom would never have hated him so much. "I suppose the latest thing is to sit back and let Mr. Nobody from Nowhere make love to your wife. Well, if that's the idea you can count me out" (pg.137). Tom did not like the idea one bit, that Daisy was getting closer and closer with Gatsby. If Gatsby had stayed away from Daisy, Tom would have never hated him and probably wouldn't have told Wilson that it was Gatsby's car that hit Myrtle. Gatsby made an enemy with

In the beginning of the novel the narrator Nick Carraway says, “Gatsby turned out all right in the end; it is what preyed on Gatsby, what foul dust floated in wake of his dreams that temporarily closed out my interest in the abortive sorrows and short-winded elations of men”. Well we don’t know how justified Nick is saying this since it’s in the beginning of the novel. So we only see Gatsby through Nick’s eyes, so all of our opinions of him are based on what Nick sees and thinks. I can assume what he writes about Gatsby is the truth, since Nick says he reserves all judgments. I believe what he says because he makes us trust him through his comments on the first few pages. For example, on the very first page of the book Nick says, “Gatsby represented everything for which I have an unaffected scorn”. Even though, Nick had doubts towards he could not help but admire him. From the beginning when Nick first met Gatsby he recognized his faults, but Nick still liked Gatsby. Nick is attracted to Gatsby’s bright and understanding smile. That’s why I feel like Nick said “Gatsby turned out all right in the end”.
