Gays in the Great Gatsby (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

While volumes of criticism and book reviews fill library shelves on The Great Gatsby, nowhere have I read any allusions to the fact that the key players in the story are of low morals and intelligence-or to be charitable: mediocre.

Daisy Buchanan is weak and of low moral standards, yet nowhere do I see that this character is "slow." Yet there's abundant evidence that the narrator intended to show her-by her own actions, assertions, and in dialogue-hat she was of substandard intelligence.

Although the underlying theme throughout the novel is about the broken romance between Jay Gatsby and Daisy Buchanan, a subtheme is a bout closeted gay life. This may be farfetched, but many instances in the book support this claim.
