| | The Great Gatsby - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | For Gatsby, though, Daisy's new status as mother and wife hardly constitutes an obstacle in regaining her love; and Daisy, feeling trapped and bored in her marriage with the unfaithful Tom, is flattered by the return of Gatsby's attention. | | | Rumors circulate of him "killing a man", or being a German spy during the Great War and the possibility of his being a cousin of contemporaneous German ruler Kaiser Wilhelm. | | | The situation of the Great Gatsby, a wealthy man of mystery haunting the society of his lost love, may owe something to Alexandre Dumas, père's Count of Monte Cristo. |

| | This is Gatsby's great flaw: his great love of Daisy is a kind of worship for him, she is ideal, and this he fails to see her flaws. | | | Gatsby asks to speak to Jordan Baker alone; after talking with Gatsby for quite a long time, she tells Nick that she has learned some remarkable news. | | | Despite this, he accompanies Daisy to Gatsby's next party; there, he is exceedingly rude and condescending toward Gatsby. |

| | The Great Gatsby |
| | Gatsby may have been exposed as a dreamer, but it is his willingness to cling to this dream, as a means of bringing sense, order and purpose to his life, which distinguishes him from those who have simply lost the ability to dream, Eliot's "Hollow Men" and Gatsby's ungrateful guests | | | Gatsby, lured on by Daisy, who is no more than a symbol for him, pursues the Green Light, the dream of progress and material possessions, and is eventually destroyed. | | | From these humble beginnings Gatsby had constructed a new image of himself, achieved through the emulation of father figures - Dan Cody and Walter Wolfsheim - and the rejection of his true father, the "solemn old man" Henry Gatz who arrives from the West, at the end of the novel, to attend his son's funeral. |

| | THE GREAT GATSBY, by F |
| | Gatsby "sprang from his Platonic conception of himself." He creates "the Great Gatsby" from the raw material of his early self, James Gatz, and from a boundless imagination, an embodied spirit capable of anything it chooses to do. | | | But when, at last, Gatsby kissed Daisy and "forever wed his unutterable visions to her perishable breath, his mind would never romp again like the mind of God." The ideal world, in Gatsby's case, shatters in the face of the real one. | | | It has, of course, happened before with Dutch sailors who "for a transitory and enchanted moment" contemplated the "fresh green breast of the new world." And, as Nick knows, it will happen as long as there is a human spirit to contemplate mystery. |

| | The Great Gatsby, John Harbison |
| | Fitzgerald wraps his novel in mystery, gradually revealing (and never really explaining) Jay Gatsby, the elusive, corrupt, self-made millionaire whose legitimacy revolves around the acceptance of an early love and another man's wife, the capricious Daisy Buchanan. | | | Devising his own libretto from the canonical Scott Fitzgerald novel, the composer managed to retain the author's humanity, his wonder, and his nostalgia. | | | Much pre-premiere attention has been drawn to the use of period dance tunes -- fox trots, rumbas, tangos and the like -- that Harbison has written and incorporated into the score in various ways. |

| | This critical edition draws on the manuscript and surviving proofs of the novel, along with Fitzgerald's later revisions and corrections, to restore the text to its original form. | | | A novel of lyrical beauty yet brutal realism, of magic, romance, and mysticism, The Great Gatsby is one of the great classics of twentieth-century literature. | | | The first edition of The Great Gatsby contained many errors resulting from Fitzgerald's extensive revisions and a rushed production schedule, and subsequent editions introduced further departures from the author's intentions. |
