American society. In The Great Gatsby‚ greed and corruption centralize the theme. Fitzgerald uses the contemporary public as a core of life for his characters.

Henry Chan 19 March 2011 Angels in America: Literary Analysis on the theme of identity If we were to imagine what destruction is like‚ how would anyone of us portray it?
