Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby : The Role of Nick Carraway as a

Character in the Novel



In 5 pages, the author discusses F. Scott Fitzgerald's 'The Great Gatsby,' and the role that Nick

Carraway played as a character in the novel. When determining the role of Nick Carraway as he was

used in this book, one must consider that he is a contrast to Gatsby. One is dark and the other is

light. One is rich and materialistic. The other is representative of America's traditional moral codes.

Nick Carraway is the novel's main catalyst, for not only telling the story, but also for showing the

differences in society. Without Nick Carraway's influence, 'The Great Gatsby' would not have nearly

the same effect. No additional sources are cited.

The Great Gatsby and The American Dream:

The American Dream is a fairly nebulous concept that is exemplified by a number of American

ideals. The story of Horatio Alger is indicative of what the American Dream stands for economic

success through hard work and an innovative outlook on capitalism. Stability, security and family

values are signified in the suburban lifestyle that is considered uniquely American. This 7 page paper

argues that The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald, uses the excesses and exaggerated lifestyle

of the protagonist, Jay Gatsby, to criticize the inherent motivations necessary to acquire the

American Dream. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

F. Scott Fitzgeralds's The Great Gatsby:The Underbelly of the

American Dream



It is widely accepted that the theme of Fitzgerald's second novel, The Great Gatsby, was the

imputation of the concept of materialism inherent in the 'American Dream' of the Roaring Twenties.

That the novel is set in the twenties is relevant to the underlying meaning proposed by the political

beliefs of the author and the language he chose to use in the novel. This 5 page paper proposes that

Fitzgerald, as a proponent of Marxist thought, presents the character of Gatsby as representative of

the worst of those striving to live within the myth of the American Dream - the 'underbelly' of the beast

that he considered conspicuous consumption to be. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

F. Scott Fitzgerald's 'The Great Gatsby' / Gatsby's Search For

Himself



A 5 page analysis of Gatsby and his true identity. While having come from a poor background, in

comparison to Daisy's, he became the incredibly wealthy man we see in the beginning of the story.

Because he is wealthy by no means has changed his character or his desires. Everyone in the story

is driven by some unforeseen force that leads them to behave in such a manner that would indicate

they were somehow not in touch with reality. Wealth itself, being the main issue of the story, does

not make for mental stability or a happy ending. No additional sources cited.
