A five page paper looking at F. Scott Fitzgerald's unusual choice of a narrator in this novel.

The Great Gatsby and The American Dream:
[ send me this essay ]
The American Dream is a fairly nebulous concept that is exemplified by a number of American ideals. The story of Horatio Alger is indicative of what the American Dream stands for economic success through hard work and an innovative outlook on capitalism. Stability, security and family values are signified in the suburban lifestyle that is considered uniquely American. This 7 page paper argues that The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald, uses the excesses and exaggerated lifestyle of the protagonist, Jay Gatsby, to criticize the inherent motivations necessary to acquire the American Dream. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
