    F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote the Great Gatsby with no respect or acknowledgement to the gender‚ female. This book is filled with many examples of how women are treated as possessions‚ not people‚ they are made out to be evil and dependent people when they are not‚ and how men overpower women‚ causing them to feel dependent of a man. F. Scott can apparently write a best seller‚ but he however obviously has no respect for women. What’s more important in this world? Let’s first learn a little about this

    version of The Great Gatsby directed by Baz Luhrmann is a key example of this common issue‚ as the film is an adaption of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s 1925 novel. The film attempts to depict the events of the 1920’s while demonstrating the deconstruction of morals and ethics as many focused on economic and social gain instead. The film takes place in New York and Long Island‚ home to the rich and fabulous‚ where the people spend hours fussing about how they are perceived socially. The Great Gatsby is an epic

    1. Individual vs. society Gatsby vs. the American society in 1920s From Nick’s perspective‚ Gatsby might have made vast fortune by illegal means and is capable of behaving like an aristocrat‚ he is still not respected as the ‘old money’ from East Egg; Gatsby’s mansion‚ his shimmering parties‚ fancy clothes and cars‚ cannot erase his past as a low-born farmer’s son after all. He dreams to be recognized as one of the upper-class people‚ but is frequently looked down by people like Tom Buchanan and

    superficiality was the ever-present American Dream that so many tried to achieve.

    story line itself. In the Great Gatsby it occurs quite frequently in the novel to indicate what may happen. Fitzgerald uses colour‚ imagery‚ symbolism‚ dialogue and pathetic fallacy to foreshadow Gatsbys fate. So today I am going to talk about the foreshadowing of Gatsbys fate (so his affair with Daisy and his death) and whether his fate is controlled by internal or external forces. Daisy and Gatsbys Relationship Green Light -The green light on Daisys dock represents Gatsbys hope to reunite with her

    task have written for part 4‚ will be based on The Great Gatsby‚ by F. Scott Fitzgerald.
