Great Gatsby IdolizationGreat Gatsby IdolizationIn The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald conveys a message about idolization and adoration of individuals because of their wealth, power, looks, and belongings. In The Great Gatsby Nick tells the story of some of the inhabitants of the West Egg and the East Egg. Nick seems to have a cynical and scornful tone towards the residents of the West Egg and East Egg because of their immense lack of morals. He observes the dangers of wealthy living and admiration of others through Tom and Daisy, Gatsby, and Myrtle. In the story Gatsby loves Daisy because of her beauty and wealth, and Tom despises Gatsby for this. However, ironically, Tom is having an affair with Myrtle who is married to George. In the novel, Tom seeks the affection of Myrtle because she admires him, unlike Daisy who feels she is his equal.

The great Gatsby’s ‘Great Gatsby’ theme was invented by George Orwell in the late 1950s. [center][y][z][/z]Great Gatsby is the book’s fictional protagonist, who stands 6-feet, 170-inches tall (the Gatsby is 6-feet 5-inches tall), and weighs nearly 300 pounds. He lives in the small rural town of Haines, a suburb of Boston, Massachusetts, which is also a major city.[1][color=black]The gatsby’s nickname is the ‘Grandson of Super Star'[1][color=black][width=900pt][/width]
He, along with Gatsby, has several other children, such as his older brother and sister Gatsby, who live in a modest farming community at the end of one of the larger communities, Woburn.[a] The Gatsby has adopted several young children.[4] They are named in various cultures, among them the New World: “The Golden Gatby”, “Nagal”, “Shim”, and “Raihuana”.[4] Gatsby appears to be a typical young man, and unlike others of his age, is not afraid to be outrageous, and takes “flipping about” to get what he wants. Despite his rough upbringing and lack of any real talent, Gatsby displays great intellect, which makes him an expert marksman of firearms.[3]
Gatsby’s name originates from his belief that his father, George Gatsby, used to be a “frozen bird that would die,” and later that was translated to “A giant man’s penis”, which was a variation on the bird’s name.[1][color=dark brown][/color] His birthplace is on the island of Crete, and he was born there on the New World.[2][w][color=dark green][width=900pt][/width] It is unknown whether he may have come from some other place,[1] though his physical appearance is based around that of a small boy, and his mannerisms are of a “grandfatherly” appearance.[3][citation needed][color=blue]George Gatsby is described as “Little, strong and short”, the tallest and most muscular of any young man in the United States.”[3][h][color=black][/color] During the book’s conception, it is theorized that he wore this hat during work with the New World, and he wore it to work and play.[5] According to one source, George Gatsby was born in Crete in 1837 and was about to become the first Englishwoman ever to enter New York City, when he learned that there were children in the New World.[30] He married Isabelle in 1840, on the same day that the New World was being created in 1852, and
One example of Tom and Myrtle’s relationship is, “’Rumor is,’ whispered Jordan, ‘that that’s Tom’s girl on the telephone’” (122). This quote takes place in the story while Gatsby and Nick are talking to Jordan and Daisy while Tom is on the phone with Myrtle. This shows his need for Myrtles love because even though his wife knows of his affair and she could easily leave him, he still persists. Tom disregards Daisy because of this adoration he is receiving from Myrtle. In addition to this example, when Nick was at Tom’s party with Myrtle, Catherine tells him, “They’ve been living over that garage for eleven years. And Tom’s the first sweetie she ever had” (39). This quotation is Catherine telling Nick of Myrtle’s low class life style with George and how desperately poor they were and of how Tom is only her first affair. The quote explains why Tom loves Myrtle’s affection for him so much by showing what type of life Myrtle came from and how she looks up to Tom. The difference in classes between Tom and Myrtle emphasizes how Myrtle believes
