1) Gatsby is a mysterious and enigmatic character.
He is wealthy, but does not
belong to a rich family, and an extravagant romantic idealist who obsessively pursues his lost love, Daisy Buchanan. Gatsby is a tragic figure who always believed in his dreams but finally becomes delusional in his pursuit of the American Dream and the past. He is a social climber who reinvents himself and is ultimately a lonely and isolated individual. 2) Jay Gatsby embodies the American Dream's pursuit of wealth, self-improvement, social mobility, optimism, individualism, and the pursuit of happiness without any kind of help. 3) The character most similar to F. Scott Fitzgerald in "The Great Gatsby" is Nick Carraway. They share similarities in their Midwest backgrounds, Ivy League education, relocation to the East Coast, involvement in the Jazz Age, and writerly aspirations. 4) Fitzgerald uses the concept of blindness to show how the power of wealth will ultimately lead to destruction and for a few death. Gatsby cant see the weakness of his alternate reality because he is blinded by the lust of power in a society based on appearance. 5) In The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald uses refined figurative language such as simile, metaphor, personification, and symbolism to convey the mood and themes of the novel. His style is so elegant that it seems almost poetic. 6) The Valley of Ashes symbolizes the downfall of the American Dream by indicating the hopelessness of the poor, the indulging of the rich and the beginning of the American Nightmare. It represents a place where the moral corruption of wealth inequality is on full display. 7) Daisy Buchanan is charming, alluring(ammicante) and often appears superficial and materialistic. She is also conflicted and torn between her desires and societal expectations. She seems very shallow but is also very sardonic. 8) In "The Great Gatsby," cars symbolize wealth, social status, and the rapid societal changes of the 1920s. They represent the materialism and excess of the Jazz Age and the characters' pursuit of the American Dream. 9) Mine is definitely Daisy because I feel like is a very modern character. Social pressure was and is an important issue so the reader tends to sympathize with her. 10) The Great Gatsby obviously takes place in the United States. Most of the characters come from the Midwest to the East Coast. In the novel, the East Coast setting is divided into three distinct places: East- Egg, West Egg ,which represent the old money wealth and the new riches, and an industrial part of Queens that the novel calls either the Valley of Ashes or just the ashheaps. 11) The expression "roaring twenties" refers to the decade of the 1920s in the United States, which was characterized by significant social, cultural, and economic change, including the proliferation of jazz music, flapper fashion, and a booming economy marked by extravagance and excess.
