ABSTRACT
Author: F. Scott Fitzgerald
Title: The Great Gatsby
Main issue: Nick Carraway, is the narrator of the whole story, and the witness of lot of infidelity from the people who surround him. His cousin was married, but she had an affair with a Nick´s friend, called Gatsby. She was unhappy, cause her husband was very violent and also had an affair with another married woman calledMyrtle, whose husband, called George, was really in loved with her. When Myrtle got killed, George got mad and killed Gatsby for that, thinking he was the responsible of the tragedy.
In this book, the author finds a way to writte a little bit about himself, also comparing the “American dream” with everybody’s secretly ambition dreams, since money and being rich, through desiring forbiddenwomen and also finds the way to turn , passional crime into a good interesting piece of literature.
The book is clearly a collection of facts; where new characters , while the story keeps going, turns into a new “ story inside the story”. It’s a way to keep the emotion of the novel, cause finally the reader finds out that everything was related. Also it is combined with a write-up of primaryresearch, cause the author includes real facts in the novel.
About the author, it says that Francis Scott Fitzgerald was born on September 24, 1896, and was raised in St. Paul, Minnesota. Though an intelligent child, he did poorly in school and was sent to a New Jersey boarding school in 1911. Despite being a mediocre student there, he managed to get in Princeton in 1913. Academic troubles madea huge obstacle on his time at college, he get in the army in 1917, as World War I neared its end By the preface we can guess that he likes to mix a little bit of his own experiences with his work, and maybe he found the way to criticize infidelity and ambition.
The main problem or issue on this work, is about trust. How the human being lies, or rather to not knowing the truth, just forsaving his happiness. Because deep inside we all know that, out there, there’s another truth that will hurt us. For example, Daisy knew that Tom had a mistress, but she prefers to keep quite and just do the same. Nobody like problems, its easier to avoid them. But also we have the good example, the example to follow, that was Gatsby; he fight in the name of love, and he died for protecting his lovedone The book ´s audience can be any person who have being in a situation like that. The writer transmits to the reader, the feeling of guilty, of unhappiness and also gives hope because there’s always some one who feel true love for us. Also is a very intense and passionate book that will entertain anybody.
Maybe for the author was easy to write this book, cause maybe, as he is used to, heused some autobiographical facts, to help giving the work a bigger dramatic sense. The facts that happen through the story are realistic, we can observe ironical situations and various love triangles. This is a good way of entertaining a public, cause drama is present in our every day lifestyle, and makes the reader relate facts of the work to own experiences.
Overview:
The author’s basicpremises are clearly a story he had with someone important to him. In the novel he write, is present the infidelity of a husband and of a wife. A social class full of appearances where everybody is supposed to be happily married , but instead, the couple look for real happiness in another person. Maybe the author had heart feelings with someone, and based the book on that.
We can observe, bylooking for Fitzgerald biography that this story is related to his life, as we were assuming from the preface.
