How appropriate do you think it is to describe The Great Gatsby as a tragedy? ‘The Great Gatsby’ may be seen as a tragic love story due to the love affair between Daisy and Gatsby which ultimately leads to his death. It could also be appropriate to describe ‘The Great Gatsby’ as a tragedy due to Nick’s attitude towards Gatsby that is almost tragic as he can’t see any fault in him.
