of the argument; however I will stress the pro-Christ figure argument. Gatsby is killed by George for allegedly killing his wife Myrtle‚ running into her with his car; however the reader knows it was Daisy who was actually driving the vehicle. Gatsby never denies his association in fact he tells Nick that he will take the blame for Daisies "sin". Now this is the most convincing text as to the argument for Gatsby being a Christ like figure. Although there are plenty others that caught my eye throughout

The importance of a poem does not always come in its meaning. William Carlos Williams illustrates this in his work‚ “The Great Figure.” Being an extremely short story about a man seeing a fire truck speed past him on a gloomy night‚ the actual story leaves readers searching for more.

Another sculpture‚ which portrays the Greek concept for male beauty‚ was A Figure of a Naked Man‚ possibly Dionysus (Fig 2). As typical of Classical Greece‚ this is a nude male statue of another god‚ Dionysus‚ who was the god of wine and all things relating to wine (grape harvest).

The man‚ Dionysus‚ seems to be very relaxed‚ which can be seen
