Abstract:

O objetivo desta dissertação é analisar como a contradição presente na narração do romance The Great Gatsby de F. Scott Fitzgerald expõe as tensões sociais e históricas dos Estados Unidos dos anos 1920. Tal contradição, revelada na linguagem e no conteúdo da obra, exige uma leitura atenta do descompasso entre o ponto de vista do narrador memorialista e os valores morais que ele apresenta no início do romance. Exploraremos de que forma o movimento reflexivo da narração de Nick Carraway demonstra a tentativa de construção de entendimento dos fatos por meio da reconstrução das memórias, e como es

Abstract:

Uppsatsen syftar till att analysera påverkan av social klass och status i F. Scott Fitzgeralds roman The Great Gatsby med Max Webers teori om klass och status som utgångspunkt. Detta sker genom analys av karaktärernas relationer och beteende ur ett perspektiv där klass och status är centralt. Resultatet visar hur klass och status påverkar karaktärernas beslut, relationer och liv. Det leder till ett oundvikligt slut för Jay Gatsbys och Daisy Buchanans kärleksaffär samtidigt som konsekvenserna av karaktärernas handlingar påverkas av deras klasstillhörighet.

Abstract:

The aim of this essay is to analyze the concept of rugged individualism in F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby. This paper will also examine the American Dream since rugged individualism is related to the American Dream. Marxist criticism problematizes rugged individualism and the American Dream. The title character Jay Gatsby is portrayed as an exemplary rugged individualist. Gatsby shows several traits of rugged individualism and he can be used as a representative for both rugged individualism and the American Dream.

By comparing the novel and the movie the essay reaches the conclusion that the director Baz Luhrmann has stayed true to the original storyline but has made alteration

The primary purpose of this study is to examine the effects of the social and cultural revolution in post-World War One American society on gender relationships in F.

In his fictional works, Fitzgerald becomes a kind of social and cultural historian, reflecting the fundamental changes that began to occur in the 1920s. There were many factors that contributed to this Jazz-Age revolution in "manners and morals": the emancipation of women, giving rise to the American New Woman; the influence of Freud and his psychoanalytic theories o

Abstract:

While it is common to relate to fictional characters, there is a common view that this is all that fiction can provide us with and that we cannot learn from fiction. There are arguments to support this claim, such as the no-evidence argument and the fiction-distortion argument. They claim that due to the nature of the production of fiction and fictional characters, we cannot learn from them. However, fictional characters can be used as a springboard to teach students about many different topics, such as historical periods, different cultures and attitudes.

De nombreuses oppositions peuvent être établies entre les langages poétique et ironique ; le point de vue interne et externe.

The overview of contributions to metaphor theory in Chapters 1 and 2, examined in reference to recent scholarship, suggests that the current theory of metaphor derives from long-standing traditions that regard metaphor as a crucial process of cognition.

Chapter 3 takes initial steps in synthesizing views of domains of inquiry into cognitive processes of the human mind. It draws from cognitive models developed in linguistics and anthropology, taking into account hypotheses put forth by psycho

Abstract:

The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald encapsulates the Roaring Twenties, a period of social and political change. The economy is thriving, and the American Dream, with its promise of monetary wealth, happiness and upward mobility, is seemingly within reach. Females gain suffrage, and a New Woman emerges, the flapper, who can be seen challenging stereotypical gender roles with her short skirts and bobbed hair. Ostensibly enjoying increased freedom, she dances the night away at speakeasies, a cigarette in one hand and a drink in the other, defying Prohibition. This essay aims to evidence that

Abstract:

<p> Over the last one hundred years, F. Scott Fitzgerald’s <i> The Great Gatsby</i> has become one of the most popular American novels in the literary canon. Though thousands of critical articles have circulated concerning one of American’s greatest tragic heroes, Jay Gatsby, it is the object of his desire that is often neglected. By applying the theories of feminist thinker Simone de Beauvoir, it can be shown that Daisy’s status as mutable anti-heroine is representative of the patriarchal ideologies of the novel’s time. Equally ripe for analysis is Daisy’s film l

F. Scott Fitzgerald’s critically acclaimed classic The Great Gatsby, written in 1925, poetically captures the zeitgeist of the roaring twenties, and has attracted considerable attention regarding the depiction of the American dream. Early critics argued that it offered a rendition of the quintessential American dream, claiming that the novel stays true to the dream’s original values. However, this analysis makes an effort to reveal the false materialistic values that corrupt and taint the vision of the original American dream projected in the narrative.

Abstract This essay is an analysis of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby and it explores how identity and ideology always exist in a context of time. The American 1920s society was influenced by theories brought by Marxism, Albert Einstein and Freud. This era was highly influenced by cultural influencers, individuals such as Fitzgerald who became one of the greatest to mould and describe the era he lived in. When reviewing Fitzgerald’s text almost a century later, and at the verge of entering the 2020s, it becomes clear that some fundamental features of culture remain ever-present in the A

Abstract:

Criticism of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s, The Great Gatsby (1925) is often focused around its already evident focal points, such as its critique of capitalism, excess and greed. Therefore, this essay focuses on and discusses instances in The Great Gatsby of sexual divergence and homoeroticism. It is written with the purpose of giving the novel an alternative reading and perspective, coupled with expressing the need to look beyond a surface-level analysis of the novel. This is primarily accomplished by analyzing and highlighting the novel's narrator and central character, Nick Carraway. While this ki

Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, it is the objective of this thesis not to vilify whiteness, but to reify it—to hack it out of its unquestioned and unquestionable status of transcendence so as to scrutinize how white identity is constructed, to trace the workings of white power through the span of U.S. history, to analyze how the regime of whiteness is represented, contested, but reconsolidated within the novel, and to examine how the novel’s representations of whiteness
