American Dream Lost in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby :: The Great Gatsby

American Dream Lost - Gatsby as a Social Commentary on American Life The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald, has been commended as one of the best, if not the best American novel.â Yet this is amusing for the general public which has so hailed the book is accurately that which is censured all through it.â Politically, the American dream was an establishment of standards and trusts in any and each American individual.â Specifically, one of the beliefs was an American dream liberated from class differentiation; that each individual has the chance to be whomever they would like to be.â In a kind of Cinderella-like design, it is basically a perfect of social portability and freedom.â The social reality, in any case, is unmistakably more cruel.â Because of the unforgiving truth of social America, by method of its vainglory and wantonness, the American dream is lost.â Through Nick’s fair and strong perception, the equal existences of Myrtle Wilson and Jay Gatsby mirror The Great Gatsby as a social editorial about the contaminated Amer ican Dream.  Myrtle is that scandalous model of how the political and social beliefs of America strife so the American dream turns into a nightmare.â Contrary to the naivete the American dream, there are in reality fine class distinctions.â With them comes certain social boundaries.â as it were, it is as though there are implicit sumptuary laws comprehended by low and high classed people alike.â Myrtle Wilson is no special case. Rather than submitting to them, Myrtle, who speaks to the low and uninformed class of America, attempted to break the social obstructions and along these lines seeks after riches using any and all means necessary.â Using her sexuality and revolting manner, she turns out to be bogus for relinquishing and excusing her own social establishment, and like Nick, we as perusers are shocked by her unusual way to deal with entering the rich class.â At one point, and cleverly to the knowing passerby, Myrtle whines about an assistance accomplished for her that was costly to the point that when she gave [Myrtle] the bill you’d of thought she had [her] appendicitus out (35).â Obviously abusing her wording, it is silly simply because she is making a decent attempt to fit into the pompous high society persona, and coming up short miserably.â Her inconsiderateness turns out to be increasingly evident when she dismissed the commendation [about her dress] by bringing her eyebrow up in scorn (35).â She is so bogus in her way that Nick sees that she had changed her costume†¦and was presently attired in a detailed evening dress (35).
