    The subliminal collapse of self-morals is evident in The Great Gatsby through several of its characters and is mirrored in the east coast society of the twenties. The characters in The Great Gatsby though spoiled with riches‚ do not stray far from their self-serving goals to do anything other that to look out for their own self-interests. It seems as if no character in the book‚ besides Nick‚ ever give thought to the results of their actions beyond their own initial perceptions of the situation.

    their identity. This is shown through Jay Gatsby in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel the Great Gatsby. The way in which Gatsby speaks is false. Gatsby‚ “whose elaborate formality of speech just missed being absurd” (132)‚ spoke in such a matter to win Daisy. Gatsby repeatedly uses the phrase ’old sport’‚ which seems fake and unnatural coming from his lips. He uses this phrase to present himself as upper class and of ’old money’ to impress Daisy. Even though Gatsby may be rich‚ he does not come from old money
