Mansion Symbolism in F. Scott Fitzgerald´s The Great Gatsby

In Willy’s fantasy world, he truly is a great and successful salesman, but this is not the same in reality. In actuality, Willy is unable to sell anything, and this proves how Willy is unable to realize that his delusions are not real. The most conclusive evidence that Willy is not well liked is at his funeral. The only people who show up are his immediate family and neighbors. Not even his boss or any of his co-workers, whom he worked with for decades, put in an appearance.

Did Willy’s life benefit the world? No. This is shown in the fact that nearly nobody shows up to Willy’s funeral service. Willy now has nothing to build upon, because he is not living anymore; He cannot rebuild his relationship with family or friends, because he is not living anymore; And because he is not living anymore, he cannot figure out why his life resulted this way. Willy was a hero to himself, and a salesman to the world; yet tragic in

It is as if it is a never ending loop of constant discussion. The names, faces, and wording may be different but everything else is exactly the same. Then no progress is made because everyone is so intransigent. The book Ancient Futures describes the unique society of the Ladakhs. They are best known for being cut off from the rest of the world and creating a personal environment where they are completely self-sustainable, at least until westernization came through.

He was hunger for wealth ,but he just had the desire which didn’t work. The year after he dropped out, he worked on Lake Superior fishing for salmon and digging for clams. One day, he saw a yacht owned by Dan Cody who was a wealthy copper mogul and rowed out to warn him about a coming storm. The grateful Cody took young Gtz, who gave his name as Jay Gatsby. On board, Gatsby worked as Cody’s personal assistant.

Summarizing once again, F. Scott Fitzgerald writes The Great Gatsby with much complex characters, symbolic references, and themes to enhance and enrich his electric, 1920’s novel. Once again, Fitzgerald uses a variety of complex character whether it be towards money or even towards love. Also, Fitzgerald has a way of using symbolic references like the green light to enhance and enrich his 1920’s novel. Finally, Fitzgerald uses one of the best themes, which is the American Dream. Overall, The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald is a novel that is unforgotten of the terms “old money” and “good money.”

"To young Gatz, resting on his oars and looking up at the railed deck, that yacht represented all the beauty and glamour in the world" (Fitzgerald 106). As soon as he borrowed the row boat that transported him to the yacht, Gatsby was no longer James Gatz, he had became Gatsby, inst... ... middle of paper ... ... education and money do not necessarily lead to happiness. "But excited monetary pursuit, Fitzgerald shows, goes hand in hand with personal anxiety: under the strain of competition, social life has become a medium of unease" (Fitter 8). The students of Mission should follow Walter's example and realize that their dream is oversimplified and flawed. They need to mature and realize that there are many pitfalls and problems that are created by money, and that they can find happiness through other things besides money such as family, religion, and love.

“His parents were shiftless and unsuccessful farm people — his imagination had never really accepted them as his parents at all.”(94). Children need some sort of direction from adults to figure out a distinct character of themselves later on. This resulted in Jimmy creating a character, Jay Gatsby, that misrepresented him, in order to gain the feeling of love he so desired. “I suppose he’d had the name ready for a long time...The truth was that Jay Gatsby of West Egg, Long Island, sprang from his Platonic conception of himself….So he invented [just what] a seventeen-year-old boy would be likely to invent...”(94). His love for himself was not sufficient enough to allow him to continue forward in time, without the person who helped him fill in his new character that had begun to form under Dan Cody’s care.

The next page wasn’t the solution but part of it. The meaning of his books was more than a simple one, it was a small part of William Goldman’s life. Goldman’s life was very interesting. He was 29 when his first son died at the age of three. Goldman was not a man of power and he never held a place in high society.

James Gatz, which is his original name, was born in a poor low-class family. His parents were “shiftless and unsuccessful” farm people (98). However “[he] had never really accepted them as his parents at all” and did not accept his faith (98). Thus, he changed his path of life completely on his own at the age of seventeen. He got rid of his name given by his family and struck out from their influence, from their unsuccessful life, and sought for a new life.

Patrick was brought up in a motherless home. He was raised up with his father, who works as a logger and self-taught explosives expert. Patrick’s worldview first originate from his father, Hazen Lewis. Hazen shares little emotions to his son and provides negligible guidance to Patrick. This was presented when the novel specifies Hazen: “Hazen Lewis did not teach his son anything, no legend, no base of theory.” (18) Hazen is described as “introverted”, often withdrawn from the society and his son.
