	The Great Gatsby - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gatsby's great wealth is a subject of much rumor; none of the guests whom Nick meets at Gatsby's parties know much about his past.
		Gatsby is infatuated with an old flame, Daisy Buchanan, who happens to be Nick's second cousin once removed and the wife of his Yale classmate, a wealthy former footballer named Tom Buchanan.
		Gatsby was performed for the opening of the new Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis, Minnesota in July 2006.

	GradeSaver: ClassicNote: The Great Gatsby Study Guide - Short Summary
		Gatsby has meticulously planned their meeting: he gives Daisy a carefully rehearsed tour of his mansion, and is desperate to exhibit his wealth and possessions.
		Gatsby is wooden and mannered during this initial meeting; his dearest dreams have been of this moment, and so the actual reunion is bound to disappoint.
		Gatsby's great flaw is that his great love of Daisy is a kind of worship, and that he fails to see her flaws.

	The Great Gatsby
		Gatsby's idea of the American Dream is doomed because he tries to buy his way into a society that will never accept him.
		Gatsby thought he could improve himself if he would "practice elocution, poise and how to attain it; read one improving book or magazine per week; and be better to parents." By planning out every minute of his day, he could attain the wealth that would win the love of his life, Daisy Buchanan.
		The first time Daisy comes to his house, the thing that Gatsby tries to impress her with is his shirts; "shirts with stripes and scrolls and plaids in coral and apple green and lavender and faint orange.

	The Great Gatsby Summary
		Gatsby himself, who had "come out to determine what share was his of [the] local heavens." Nick almost called out to introduce himself to his neighbor, but something in Gatsby's manner told Nick that he was content just then to be alone.
		Gatsby, Jordan, Tom and Daisy were all there, and, after some tension-filled conversation, including several subtle challenges between Tom and Gatsby, they all decided to drive to New York to escape the heat in a hotel room.
		Gatsby, on the other hand, is larger than life, a hopeless and hopeful "great romantic," who represents the worldly ambitions in all of us.

	DVD Verdict Review - The Great Gatsby
		Gatsby is enigmatic and mysterious, ridiculously wealthy, rarely seen but recognizable by name to everyone, and prone to throwing inordinately expensive parties but never attending them.
		Gatsby strikes up a friendship with Nick, and after learning of his relationship to Daisy, arranges a meeting with her, and the two instantly resume their former affair.
		For Gatsby, Nick comes to be a way back to Daisy and nothing more, and Nick, despite any admiration he may have for Gatsby, doesn't actually spend enough time with him in the film to make that final line ring true.

	THE GREAT GATSBY, by F
		Gatsby "sprang from his Platonic conception of himself." He creates "the Great Gatsby" from the raw material of his early self, James Gatz, and from a boundless imagination, an embodied spirit capable of anything it chooses to do.
		But when, at last, Gatsby kissed Daisy and "forever wed his unutterable visions to her perishable breath, his mind would never romp again like the mind of God." The ideal world, in Gatsby's case, shatters in the face of the real one.
		It is difficult to assess the enormous influence of The Great Gatsby.

	The Great Gatsby
		Gatsby, lured on by Daisy, who is no more than a symbol for him, pursues the Green Light, the dream of progress and material possessions, and is eventually destroyed.
		It is the same, I would suggest, the same in Gatsby, for he, Nick assures the reader, "turned out all right in the end; it is what preyed on Gatsby, what foul dust floated in the wake of his dreams that temporarily closed out my interest in the abortive sorrows and short-winded elations of men.".
		Gatsby may have been exposed as a dreamer, but it is his willingness to cling to this dream, as a means of bringing sense, order and purpose to his life, which distinguishes him from those who have simply lost the ability to dream, Eliot's "Hollow Men" and Gatsby's ungrateful guests

	Scott Fitzgerald Looks Into Middle Age
		The story of Jay Gatsby of West Egg is told by Nick Caraway, who is one of the legion from the Middle West who have moved on to New York to win from its restless indifference-well, the aspiration that arises in the Middle West-and finds in Long Island a fascinating but dangerous playground.
		In the method of telling, "The Great Gatsby" is reminiscent of Henry James's "Turn of the Screw." You will recall that the evil of that mysterious tale which so endangered the two children was never exactly stated beyond suggested generalization.
		Gatsby, his parties and his mysterious wealth were the gossip of the hour.

		Gatsby looked with vacant eyes through a copy of Clay's "Economics," starting at the Finnish tread that shook the kitchen floor and peering toward the bleared windows from time to time as if a series of invisible but alarming happenings were taking place outside.
		Gatsby, pale as death, with his hands plunged like weights in his coat pockets, was standing in a puddle of water glaring tragically into my eyes.
		Gatsby, his hands still in his pockets, was reclining against the mantelpiece in a strained counterfeit of perfect ease, even of boredom.

	The Great Gatsby - F. Scott Fitzgerald
		A wafer of a moon was shining over Gatsby's house, making the night fine as before, and surviving the laughter and the sound of his still glowing garden.
		Her porch was bright with the bought luxury of star-shine; the wicker of the settee squeaked fashionably as she turned toward him and he kissed her curious and lovely mouth.
		She had caught a cold, and it made her voice huskier and more charming than ever, and Gatsby was overwhemingly aware of the youth and mystery that wealth imprisons and preserves, of the freshness of many clothes, and of Daisy, gleaming like silver, safe and proud above the hot struggles of the poor.

	Analysis: The Great Gatsby
		Gatsby's green light to the "green breast of the new world" (115), comparing Gatsby's dream of rediscovering Daisy to the explorer's discovery of America and the promise of a new continent.
		The means corrupt the end, and Gatsby's dream dies because of Daisy, Gatsby, and Tom's carelessness and superficiality, as does Gatsby for the same reasons.
		Gatsby cannot change because his life is based on a dream he set for himself as a youth and Tom and Daisy cannot develop because their life is one big advertisement, living in eternal youth, beauty, and wealth.

		Gatsby is essentially a love story set among the fabulous ruin of Jazz Age America where characters flit in and out of the party circiut of West Egg - a fictitious location in Long Island.
		Gatsby embodies the American Dream, and his longings to return to the world of 1917 and his first and only love, Daisy is fated from the outset.
		Don't be fooled by the fake and illusory material splendour, it is Gatsby "who dispensed starlight to the casual moths" at his banquets through the long warm summer evenings of 1922, Gatsby the hoodlum, Gatsby the child of the Valley of Ashes, who contains all of the inspirational morality of this narrative.

		Written in 1925, F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby is often referred to as "The Great American Novel," and as the quintessential work which captures the mood of the "Jazz Age."
		Fitzgerald followed with The Beautiful and the Damned in 1922, The Great Gatsby in 1925, Tender is the Night (1934), and was working on The Last Tycoon (1941) when he died, in Hollywood, in 1940.

		Sometimes she and Miss Baker talked at once, unobtrusively and with a bantering inconsequence that was never quite chatter, that was as cool as their white dresses and their impersonal eyes in the absence of all desire.
		Compared to the great distance that had separated him from Daisy it had seemed very near to her, almost touching her.
		Gatsby's notoriety, spread about by the hundreds who had accepted his hospitality and so become authorities on his past, had increased all summer until he fell just short of being news.

	The Great Gatsby
		After the war, Gatsby devotes himself blindly to the pursuit of wealth by whatever means--and to the pursuit of Daisy, which amounts to the same thing.
		Perhaps the reason that no film adaptation of Gatsby has been well-received is that no director could possibly compete with the pictures Fitzgerald paints in the reader's mind.
		Gatsby is a self-invented person, no one really knows him, what he does, or where he's from, but they all come to his parties.

		The novel is about Jay Gatsby (whose actual name was James Gatz), a newly wealthy Midwesterner-turned-Easterner who orders his life around one desire: to be reunited with Daisy Fay (she's now married and known as Daisy Buchanan), the love he lost five years earlier.
		Can't say I enjoyed this novel, Gatsby fell in foolish love with a high-maintenance, forbidden woman because she was white, full of money and the fineries that went with it.
		In the end Gatsby paid with his life while Tom and Daisy (who I'll call a spineless murderess for not admitting to anyone her responsibility in the manslaughter of Myrtle) continue their high lifestyle scot-free.

		A portrait of the Jazz Age in all of its decadence and excess, Gatsby captured the spirit of the author's generation and earned itself a permanent place in American mythology.
		The narrator, Nick Carraway, sympathetically records the pathos of Gatsby's romantic dream which founders on the reality of corruption, the insulated selfishness of Tom and Daisy, and the cutting edge of violence.
		Gatsby holds regular glitzy parties in 1930s America, but, beneath the surface, all Gatsby's wants is someone to love (Daisy).

	NovelGuide: The Great Gatsby: Novel Summary: Chapter 1
		Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby opens with Nick Carraway, the novel's narrator, introducing himself as a man who tends to listen and observe without passing judgment.
		Mysteriously hinting at themes which will pervade the plot of his tale Carraway reflects, "When I came back from the East last autumn I felt that I wanted the world to be in uniform and at a sort of moral attention forever; I wanted no more riotous excursions with privileged glimpses into the human heart.
		When Gatsby suddenly stretches his arms toward the water, Nick turns to see what he reaches for, but "distinguished nothing except a single green light, minute and far away, that might have been the end of a dock" (26).
