Description
The Great Gatsby (1925) was the third novel published by F. Scott Fitzgerald when he was still in twenties. Produced at a time when America was in the midst of the roaring twenties, the book takes a close look at money, class structure, and the capitalist system. Transforming from one who had been only an observer of the rich to a man of opulence himself, Gatsby becomes an incarnation of the romanticized American Dream. Yet, unsuccessful, since that dream is attained through unethical methods and is unsuccessful in its final quest, its very value becomes meaningless and ultimately tragic. . . . in the very attempt to narrate Gatsby s storyNick reenacts what he takes to be the central action of that story – the individual imagination s effort to equal the absolute nature (by producing an absolute image) of Desire, in effect, the imagination s attempt to become God. . . . Fitzgerald chose a story with a history to show that time and time again histroy stacks the odds against survival of human aspiration. He then set about demonstrating its immortality. VIVA MODERN CRITICAL INTERPRETATIONS presents the best current criticism on the most widely read and studied poems, novels and dramas of the Western world, from Oedipus Rex and the Iliad to such modern and contemporary works as William Faulkner s The Sound and the Fury and Don Delillo s White Noise.
