The Great Gatsby: Look at this timetable &; Schedule

"The Great Gatsby" Many people should have a general understanding of the plot (whether it is the books they read or the movies they watch). To put it simply, Gatsby struggled from a poor boy to a millionaire, and then he wanted to pursue his old lover Daisy again. The ending should be clear to everyone. Daisy killed her husband Tom's mistress with a car, and Gatsby took the fall for her (in fact, there is no official correction in the book). Next, Tom told his mistress's husband that Gatsby was the murderer, which led him to shoot Gatsby in a trance.

After Gatsby's death, only a few people attended his funeral, including his father, who didn't want to talk about it before. His father was really proud of him. He proudly said that my son was destined to be a successful person, and he could explain the problem from an early age, and then he came up with this routine &; Timetable.

How filial to parents

We don't know the implementation degree of this timetable and agenda, but I agree with Gatsby's father's point of view, which is really helpful for us to explore Gatsby's character. He is patient and positive. Concentration and persistence are one of the reasons for his success, but in the face of love, this concentration and persistence eventually hurt him.

Gatsby is cute, there is no doubt about it. I have to say that any woman who meets such a boyfriend or husband will feel extremely lucky.

In the article, Gatsby and Daisy meet again after five years' separation. Gatsby asked his neighbor Luke (this book is based on his perspective, Daisy's cousin) to invite Daisy, and he pretended to be a guest of his family, thus starting the first meeting after separation. I didn't see the anxiety when I was waiting, the embarrassment when I first met you. I thought these things would only appear when teenagers first met, but they were so harmonious in Gatsby.

Gatsby invited Daisy to his home. During the visit, the description in the article may best reflect his feelings for Daisy:

His love for Daisy is sincere, and he also thinks that Daisy has the same degree of affection for him, but obviously not. When I didn't read The Great Gatsby, I wondered why Gatsby was obsessed with Daisy, or why Gatsby didn't notice Daisy's "true face" when they met again. Now it seems that "concentration and persistence" have influenced him. The daisy he imagined was so beautiful, how could he give it up easily? He never even had a similar idea. Since he has never realized that this "beauty" is wrong, he will naturally work harder to get her.

Looking at Daisy again, people basically describe her as vanity, money worship and selfishness, but I don't want to use such a simple word to characterize her, even if it is her most striking feature. On the day she married Tom, she got drunk with Gatsby's letter and cried that she would cancel the wedding. At that moment, she should love him. Only the wedding was held as usual in the end, and the three-month honeymoon trip made her fall in love with her husband Tom (Daisy's friend said, I don't think I have ever seen a woman so obsessed with her husband).

It is hard to believe that after such a short period of "empathy", she developed deep feelings for Gatsby. Judging from the comparison of feelings, the gap between her and Gatsby is worlds apart. I was a little shocked when I read this book. It's hard to imagine how people's feelings can change so quickly, but I seem to be able to get a glimpse of the social time reflected in this book.

The Great Gatsby shows the social outlook of the United States in the 1920s, and depicts the crazy scene of indulging in money and debauchery, which was called "Jazz Age" at that time (the Gatsby family kept partying in the book, and there were many scenes of luxurious parties in the film).

Except Gatsby and Luke, almost all the characters in the article that can impress you are superficial and drunk, and the whole person is in a state of spiritual desolation. There is no need to define daisies in simple words, because there were too many such people in those days. Even without Daisy, Gatsby might have Dai Dong, Danan and Debbie, all of whom look the same.

Therefore, perhaps Gatsby's tragedy lies not in Daisy, not in Daisy's husband Tom, but in that era. When Nick first attended Gatsby's party, he had this conversation with a drunk with owl glasses.

I couldn't help laughing when I saw this. Suddenly I remembered a joke I read a long time ago, which probably said that a rich man took a beautiful woman to his villa and met a beggar with a book on the way. The rich man asked the beggar, what books can you read if you are poor? The beggar asked the rich man, you can eat, but if your mind is empty, you are not poor. The rich man was speechless and humiliated in front of the beautiful woman. He returned home embarrassed, called the housekeeper, bought all the books that could be seen in the market and put them on a shelf. I didn't know what was funny about this joke before, but now I know.

Obviously, at that time in America, Gatsby was out of place with the people around him, and he certainly tried to blend in. So we see that Gatsby's tone and movements are unnatural in many places, and the author keeps telling readers that this man is not the ghost he shows.

Those who don't fit in will always be "eliminated" in some way, even in today's society. Fortunately, the times have improved after all, and now there will always be people who are so powerful that ordinary people can only envy them. The diversification of information sources also enables most people to have their own opinions, not just follow the crowd. Finally, persistence and concentration are important, but always reflect on yourself and don't go in the wrong direction.
