The novel Great Gatsby was written by F. Scott Fitzgerald which was published in 1925. Fitzgerald presents the rich and powerful in society as not caring about the destructive impact they have on others, especially the poor. The story is narrated by a guy named Nick Carraway. He is a neighbour of Great Gatsby and casts himself as an author. Gatsby and Daisy were in love, but Gatsby went to a war. When Gatsby returns from a war after 5 years Daisy is already married to Tom. The story describes about two cities East egg (already wealthy) and West Egg (new money). The two cities are separated by a farm known as valley of Ashes. Poor people like Myrtle and George live in Valley of Ashes.
People dont pay attention to what one does when they are careless. Everyone was careless at some point. Daisy and Tom not being serious about their relationship as Tom has affair with Myrtle and Daisy is still in love with Gatsby even though they both are married. Not only with relationship but also with the wealth they have. Gatsby is a careless person too because he earned his money by selling illegal drugs and alcohol. His parties are wild and stylish with thousands of guests. He never tries form any kind of relationship with his guests. In his party exploitation is seen as people are fighting with each other and drinking alcohol. The intention of throwing unnecessary parties is to get Daisys attention (He carelessly wastes thousands of dollars just hoping to see Daisy). And on Monday morning eight servants, including an extra gardener, toiled all day with mops and scrubbing brushes and hammers and garden-shears, repairing the ravages of the night before (page 45). This quote describes that a lot of people must clean up the mess that have been made in party.
Rich people talking arrogantly to the poor. Tom believes that with the wealth and power he has he should be on the top of the society. To maintain this, he hurts and put down the people around him. When we stopped by the ash heaps, he jumped to his feet and taking my elbow, literally forced me from the car (page30). This shows how impolite and aggressive Tom is. When Nick comes for a visit to his house the first thing he says is I have got a nice place here . He compliments his own house which shows how silly of him. He always tries to show how much better he is than everyone else.
Rich people think themselves up above everyone. They think they can get away with anything. Gatsby earns money through illegal way but never gets caught. He also over speeds when driving but the police doesnt do anything. Whereas poor people like Wilson are struggling to live a happy life. When Myrtle says the dog is cute, Tom tries to show that he knows more than anyone, showing how he looks down the people who lie below his class (Myrtle and Dog seller).
Wealthy people have weak relationships. Myrtle has no regret cheating her husband because she will get to live the luxury life, she always wanted but she doesnt understand that Tom will not accept her in his circle. In the end breaking law leads to a death of innocent girl. Tom physically abuses Myrtle making a short theft movement, Tom Buchanan broke her nose with his open hand (page43) this shows how uncontrolled he is as a person. Tom is not only careless and arrogance but also a liar. Knowing that Daisy killed Myrtle, Tom told Wilson that Gatsby killed her. Tom is responsible for Gatsbys death but doesnt show up to his funeral. Daisy in the other hand thinks money will solve her problems and she let Gatsby take the blame for Myrtles death and runs away with Tom. No one came to Gatsbys funeral because people only used to come to his house because of his big parties or to get something from him.
Fitzgerald has used variety of literacy techniques to represent American dream in 1920s. There were lot of symbolism used throughout. Such as the green light symbolises dream that is out of reach. Gatsby keeps his eye on it and is always in view. The cars symbolise of wealth and their ability to escape their problems and their carelessness with other peoples lives. If the characters of Great Gatsby werent wealthy, they would live more carefully, and the result of their actions would be different.
