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 praised as one of the best, if not the best American novel.â Yet this is unexpected for the general public which has so hailed the book is unequivocally 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 want to be.â In a kind of Cinderella-like style, it is basically a perfect of social portability and freedom.â The social reality, be that as it may, is unmistakably more cruel.â Because of the unforgiving truth of social America, by method of its grandiosity and wantonness, the American dream is lost.â Through Nick’s legit and strong perception, the equal existences of Myrtle Wilson and Jay Gatsby mirror The Great Gatsby as a social editorial about the dirtied Ame rican Dream.  Myrtle is that notorious model of how the political and social goals of America struggle so the American dream turns into a nightmare.â Contrary to the naivete the American dream, there are without a doubt fine class distinctions.â With them comes certain social boundaries.â one might say, 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 keeping them, Myrtle, who speaks to the low and uninformed class of America, attempted to break the social hindrances and hence seeks after riches using any and all means necessary.â Using her sexuality and foul demeanor, she turns out to be bogus for forsaking and excusing her own social establishment, and like Nick, we as perusers are shocked by her abnormal way to deal with entering the rich class.â At one point, and entertainingly to the knowing spectator, Myrtle grumbles about an assistance accomplished for her that was costly to such an extent that when she gave [Myrtle] the bill you’d of thought she had [her] appendicitus out (35).â Obviously abusing her wording, it is funny simply because she is making a decent attempt to fit into the self important privileged persona, and coming up short miserably.â Her impoliteness turns out to be increasingly obvious 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 currently attired in a detailed evening dress (35).
