Gatsby

 

            "The Great Gatsby" " Whenever you fell like criticizing anyone, just.
             remember that all the people in this world haven't had all the.
             advantages that you've had. " These words by Nick Carraway's dad.
             should be taken into consideration when looking at one of the themes of.
             the first chapter: the destroying effects of wealth. This theme will.
             focus on Daisy and Tom Bucchanon. Some examples of this theme are Tom's.
             mistress, his overall attitude of people, and Tom's and Daisy's overall.
             feeling of each other. Adultery can often be an effect of too much.
             wealth. Tom showed this by the fact that he had another woman in New.
             York. It showed the destroying effect of wealth because Tom felt that.
             since he had enough money, he didn't need to be faithful to Daisy. .
             Instead, the superficial power of money has led him astray from his wife. .
             The fact that you have money doesn't mean you can do whatever you.
             please. A marital relationship should be heavily based on love. I got.
             none of that love from Tom's and Daisy's marriage. Their constant.
             irritating remarks, and interruptions make it seem that there is no love.
             between them. They seem like a couple in their 80's who are sick and.
             tired of each other. The fact that they came from rich families .
             probably attributed to their snobby behavior. The attitude in the first.
             chapter showed a lot of the ugliness attributed to wealth. Tom.
             especially showed little and at times no sign of a pleasant attitude while.
             Nick visited his home. He always found a way to throw in that he was.
             better than Nick, "I've got a nice place here." and when he blurted.
             out that he had " never heard of them " (the company that Nick was.
             working for) just to make him fell superior to his wife's cousin. Very.
             rarely does money bring out the good in people and Tom is probably why. .
             In this essay, I told about the effects that came from the destructivness.
             of wealth.
