Gatsby VIII
7 06 2009It’s pretty clear by this point what Fitzgerald’s messege is. The two people that chased after the “American Dream” ended up dead. Perhaps he is saying that you shouldn’t everything you have into reaching a goal and be content with what you have sometimes.
Everyone keeps dying; and that’s not cool. Gatsby turns out to be a very tragic figure- he leaves for Oxford and the war and comes back to find his girls been taken by someone richer; THAT’S not cool. I find Daisy very unlikable, but at the same time, I get the feeling that it’s not all completely her fault.
Gatsby’s suit is pink. Pink represents Daisy. Meaningful, is it not? Also red represents… blood?
