I-Search Draft
In the novel The Great Gatsby, lying is apparent in the relationship between the characters, proven that it’s a rotten crowd, but everyone seems to want a piece of it. The marriages in the novel are marked by adultery, deception and dissatisfaction. Fitzgerald seems to take a dim view of marriage in general. Cheating represents the shallow quality of the character lives signifying the hollowness of the American Dream. Tom has an affair to satisfy his dissatisfaction, something like an escape from his relationship at home. “I supposed 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.”(Fitzgerald, 130) This explains how hypocritical Tom is because he’s cheating himself. He’s speaking morals when his own marriage and the American Dream is threatened. Tom and Daisy s’ marriage has gone dead; they must cover their dissatisfaction with the distractions of the idle rich. Gatsby in the novel still has plenty to say it captures the precise moment of how modern America came into recognizable shape. “James Gatz, a poor kid from Midwest, reinvents himself as Jay Gatsby, a mysterious and super-rich figure who throws huge, bacchanalian parties at his long island mansion”(Fitzgerald,1). James clearly reinvents his self as someone superrich. He changes his name as if he’s a want to be. James Gatz grew up poor and UN wealthy. Lies are told and secrets are kept. Lying is seen in the world today through the relationships between the rich and the poor, proving that in 100 years, things haven’t changed, nor will they. “He wanted nothing less of Daisy than that she should go to Tom and say: I never loved you” (Fitzgerald, 105). Both Gatsby and Daisy knew that she loves Tom. Gatsby is stuck far into the past before that war. “I’m going to fix everything just the way it was before “he said nodding determinedly. “ She’ll see.” He talked a lot about the past says roger. He
