Great Expectations
The Great Gatsby
“Oh,society”
Throughout time society as a whole has not greatly changed to what it is now.
One mayor part of the society is the social class structure and we can this problemreflected in Jay Gatsby, from the novel The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, and in
Pip, from Great Expectations by Charles Dickens, when they both fell in love with the
wrong womanaccording to society. Pip and Gatsby both utilize their money to bring
the woman they love into their lives. Along the way towards acheiving their goal, they
violate ethics andvalues, which in exchange, changed them as people.
Eventhough they both had the same exact dream or goal (to have the woman they love
at all costs), they did no tended having thesame tactics to conquer their love. Pip is
demonstrated sncerely and spoken with his true feelings, whereas Gatsby stays with
the idea of conquering her with his wealth. Pip triedtoconquer his beloved with
manners and Gatsby with his wealth, and for trying to conquer someone’s heart with
appearences they got nowhere.
Social structure plays a mayor role inthese two novels because the two characters
associate high class with success in love and overall, also in life. At the end, Gatsby
could not get Daisy’s attention, and, untilchapter 46, Estella (Pip’s love), kept treating
Pip with indifference and with no interest in him.
In conclusion, you can’t buy happiness and you can’t buy love. Gatsby tried to buyDaisy with money and Pip tried to gain Estella with manners. Eventhough they both
sel-improved, they improved because of society and to impress others, and not for
their own good.
