I consider that to be an ontological impossibility.
"The Great Gatsby is about striving, dreaming…"
I disagree, The Great Gatsby is about a Marxist view of the world, it is a blatant attack on class which is why it is so much favored in today's high schools and universities.
The Great American Novel? I didn’t get it at all.
Yes, it’s a Marxist attack on the wealthy. Daisy marries the rich guy to begin with, then has an affair with Gatsby, then when Gatsby gets shot, she goes back partying with her rich guy husband again. No guilt, no cares.
The narrator says Gatsby was the “true romantic”. That cuts two ways: we feel sorry for a guy who loves a girl so completely—but we also consider him a fool because he was so stupid as to believe some rich bitch like that would have a sincere romantic bone in her body. As a representative of the upper classes she is shallow, callous, unfeeling, immoral, and phony. The Great Gatsby was not ‘great’—he was a fool to believe in the green light “GREEN, MONEY GREEN!!” Get it?
