The Great Gatsby

The Great Gatsby is a book written about a man named Nick Carraway and his relationships with many different people that he met when he moved to New York. Throughout the book, Nick learns a lot about the people around him, and especially his neighbor Jay Gatsby. But most importantly he learns a lot about himself. The Great Gatsby is filled with symbols and themes. Some of the major themes of the book include hope, money and success, ignorance, judgement of others, disillusions, and moral values. There are a lot of different lessons that can also be learned from this book.

Hope can be interpreted as a theme and hope also explains one of the symbols in the book. Hope is represented by the green light at the end of Daisy’s dock. Jay hopes that one day his love with Daisy can get back to the way it was before. “Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that’s no matter- tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther…” (p.189) This quote summarizes all of the hope t


It seems that in this book the more money you have, the less moral values you have. People with money seem to have no sense of what a being a good person is. Most of the people in this book end up doing something wrong, and don’t feel bad about it. Daisy had an affair, as did Tom, Myrtle cheated on her husband, and Jay Gatsby got his money from doing illegal things. None of these people ever looked back on their life and told themselves that they needed to change, they just kept on doing bad.
