The Great Gatsby And Destruction Of The American Dream 1. Introduction The Great Gatsby was first published in April 1925 in New York. It took F. Scott Fitzgerald several years to finish this work, but that was worth it. This novel was the third one he wrote. As the other two previous novels it was very successful. It was even performed on stage. Today are existing various translations of the it and even some movies, which are known all over the world. My interest for this book was aroused when somebody in school presented the book and included the American Dream in this presentation. While reading the novel I recognised a lot of tension in it, which probably is caused by how the language is used but also by what is happening and what kind of characters are acting. It is easy to read, probably because of the straight way it is written in. On the other hand, when I read more closed, I discovered various meanings in it. Fitzgerald used experiences from his own life and included them in general topics like the extravagantly life in the “golden twenties”, the fragility of dreams as a result of conformity, the relationship between tom, dream, myrtle, gatsby, money, people, fitzgerald, american, daisy, nick, class, one, wilson, social, rich, gatsby’s, because, life, after, never, careless, wealth, society, own, love, jordan, both, away, world, wife, voice, reach, myrtle’s
