Gatsby - Themes exploring the impact
of the first World War.
- The characters are defined by their
WEALTH or lack of it. Dreams are built on
money.
- The WEST remains a symbol of
freedom,but the EAST now symbolises
the land of opportunity.
- Americans' dreams of the future are now rooted
in REAPEATING THE PAST, and so are
unachievable.
- Fitzgerald creates a new URBAN ROMANTICISM.
- The narrator struggles to understand THE
REALITY BEHIND APPEARANCES.
- Young people blame their parents' generation
and reject their values and their RELIGION.
- The AMERICAN DREAM has become
contaminated with the persuit of wealth.
- Most live for the here and now, like
those at Bunyan's Vanity Fair in THE
PILGRIM'S PROGRESS.
- GENDER ROLES are explored because
women are at last beginning to share
the dream.
