The Great Gatsby

In Chapter 2 of "The Great Gatsby," the focus shifts towards Tom Buchanan, his affair with Myrtle Wilson, and the contrasting settings between East and West Egg. Gatsby's character remains somewhat mysterious and distant at this point in the story, as the author slowly unveils more about him as the plot progresses. This intentional delay in revealing details about Gatsby helps build anticipation and intrigue around his character.

She could not discern if he was being serious or sarcastic. The word discern is a verb, and some of its synonyms include recognize and perceive.

The title of the book "The Great Gatsby" comes from the character Nick Caraway in the story and is in reference to the character 'Jay Gatsby'. Jay Gatsby is 'great' because he manages to live a life of happiness and optimism simply by convincing himself that life is full of hope and goodness and by ignoring the corruption and darkness in the world around him. This makes him great because few people are able to ignore the bad things in life and focus only the good. F. Scott Fitzgerald meant to make the title ironic because although Gasby is great he is also fake and impossible. The character called 'Jay Gatz' changed his name to 'Jay Gatsby' in order to make himself the perfect persona for the woman he loved (Daisy). When he changed his name he made himself from being an ordinary person into this almost super-human bundle of optimism and hope who strives for perfection in everything. Because of this he started to believe his own lies and couldn't invision a way that Daisy would be able to reject him (to the extent that he blanks out the fact that she's married!). Ultimately this means that when Daisy does reject him the character of 'Jay Gatsby' falls apart and only Jay Gatz is left. He then symbolically dies to show that after the creation of 'Jay Gatsby', 'Jay Gatz' can no longer survive in the real world. Long story short, it's called "The Great Gatsby" because Gatsby is great. Gatsby is great because he is larger than life in his optimism. This is ironic because it is this optimism that ultimately kills him.

Y in "The Great Gatsby" is the nickname of a character called Meyer Wolfsheim, who is a shady and mysterious underworld figure involved in illegal activities like fixing the World Series. He got the nickname because he calls everyone "old sport" as a mannerism.

George saw the diamond dog collar which he took as proof that Myrtle was having an affair. Tom had bought the collar for Myrtle.

This quote from "The Great Gatsby" reflects the narrator's disillusionment with the superficiality and emptiness of human pursuits.

In Chapter 4 of "The Great Gatsby," Jay Gatsby is restless because he is still trying to win over Daisy. His restlessness stems from his desire to escape his past and create a new identity for himself, one that will finally allow him to be with Daisy. Gatsby's restlessness also reflects his deep longing for a love that he feels is just out of reach.

Some critics argue that The Great Gatsby is not particularly sympathetic to its female characters, portraying them as shallow and lacking agency. Daisy Buchanan, in particular, is often seen as a symbol of materialism and superficiality. However, others argue that the novel critiques the societal constraints that limit women's choices and agency during the 1920s.

The protagonist of The Great Gatsby is, as the title suggests, Gatsby himself. Despite Nick's role as the narrator of the story, he is very much in the background of the plot and does not affect the action of the novel in any way. Nick's purpose is to narrate. There is very little difference between Fitzgerald's role as the story teller and Nick's as the narrator. Gatsby, however, is not only the subject of the play, but changes the action tremendously. - IQ4U -

Nick says(in many words) that he does not judge people. He just thinks of them as how they appear. Some would see that as judging. But once he meets Gatsby, he cant help but judge. He becomes very curious and fascinated(not in a weird way) with Gatsby.

Wilson's garage is located in the Valley of Ashes, a desolate wasteland between West Egg and New York City in "The Great Gatsby." It serves as both a literal setting and a symbol of the moral and social decay that permeates the novel. The garage is where Tom Buchanan's affair with Myrtle Wilson is exposed, leading to the tragic climax of the story.

It gives us insight into the character of Nick Carraway. Knowing the background of the narrator creates a sense of trust and this then makes us believe more of what he will tell us later on in the novel. It also gives reasons for some of his judgments and actions he makes/does later on in the story. Without a prologue the story would jump too quickly and the prologue is instrumental in providing us with reasons, easing us into the story of the 'Great Gatsby'.

No, Tom Buchanan did not kill George Wilson. George Wilson kills Gatsby in The Great Gatsby, believing that Gatsby was driving the car that killed his wife. Tom Buchanan reveals Gatsby's involvement to Wilson, but he is not directly responsible for George Wilson taking this action.

At the end of Chapter 7, Nick is still in his thirties, as he celebrates his thirtieth birthday in Chapter 3.

Gatsby stays in West Egg because he is determined to protect Daisy and take responsibility for her actions, even though he is not directly at fault. He believes that leaving would further implicate her and tarnish her reputation. Additionally, Gatsby is deeply infatuated with Daisy and is willing to endure the consequences to remain close to her.

Tom is determined to find out the truth about Gatsby's background and intentions, particularly his relationship with Daisy. He wants to protect his own marriage and status by uncovering any potential threats Gatsby may pose.
