What is an example of an analogy in The Great Gatsby?
Trimalchio Gatsby is Trimalchio personified. A man from a common, modest background driven to extravagant, lavish spending. In Gatsby's case however, it is only to provide an illusory image of success and happiness to his well-to-do neighbors in West Egg. It is all a facade, though, for no amount of money Gatsby can spend can buy what he ultimately needs to achieve his 'dream': Daisy. Trimalchio was driven by power, and control over others for his own amusement. Therein lies the difference.
Who is trimachio in The Great Gatsby?
Trimalchio is an early version of The Great GatsbyI don't think that there's a character called Trimalchio in Trimalchio, or in The Great Gatsby.It seems to be some sort of symbol, connected to a character of that name in something called Satyricon by Petronius (AD 27-66). In that text, Trimalchio is a freed slave who has grown wealthy and hosts a lavish banquet; that's an obvious link with Gatsby so I suspect that was the reason for that earlier title.
What is an example of an allusion in The Great Gatsby in chapter 3?
World War I was initially called The Great War. There is mention of it when Gatsby says he recognized him from the war. They were both in the Third Division. Gatsby in the Seventh Infantry and Nick in the Ninth Machine-gun battalion.
What are the similarities between the books The Great Gatsby and The Color Purple?
Trimalchio was a person or character (cannot remember if he was fictional or real) in Rome. If you take Latin, Trimalchio's dinner is pretty famous. Anyway, he was a freedman, who had great fantastic parties that were known as being very odd and interesting events. The reference to Gatsby there is obvious although that is really the only correlation between the two. There are also other correlations though, which is both Gatsby and Trimalchio's obsession with time, and the colour green (Trimalchio's green ball, and Gatsby's green light)
