    Dear Prince of Denmark‚ Words cannot explain how miserable I am‚ due to all the despairing events that have been occurring in my life. You may believe that the loss of your father‚ King Hamlet‚ and your mother’s hasty marriage may be all of end all. All of those events in your life aren’t compatible with all the sorrow I’ve received from Daisy‚ Tom‚ and everyone who I’ve been associated with throughout my entire life.

The novel begins with Nick Carraway telling his audience of some advice about not criticizing others his father had given him when he was younger. “Whenever you feel like criticizing any one‚ just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had”

    Language in the Great Gatsby A key point for the structure is how Fitzgerald has played with the chronology; Nick’s narrative starts in the present and then from about chapter 4 onwards he starts to integrate stories of Gatsby’s past‚ however these are not in chronological order either! I think that this is because Fitzgerald understands that 1) the reader cannot absorb lots of information at once‚ 2) they will not understand/believe this information until they are interested in Gatsby and 3) it further

    Fitzgerald ’s Great Gatsby and Elliot ’s The Wasteland are two stories that similarly express the modernist post-war disillusionment. Both stories comment pessimistically on the direction that our world is moving in from the post-war modernist perspective. Both men looked past the roaring twenties‚ and realized that this time period was actually a moral wasteland. The final paragraphs of The Great Gatsby sum up their mutual lack of faith in American culture to improve. Fitzgerald uses a number

    Feminism in Gatsby: Tom plays a real dominant male. He bullies both men and women. Among others he bullies both George Wilson and Daisy & Myrtle. Daisy portrays the discomfort of the modern woman after the 2nd world war in the US‚ who had to do basically everything. Daisy has a child she can’t take care of‚ for example. Women were margins‚ while males where in the center of all actions. With that‚ Fitzsimons probably critiques the objectification of women. The narrator (Nick) does it as well‚ as
