What do I think about this novel?
I remember
reading the first two pages and loving them, the language and the feelings
conveyed. Then I read the rest and I hated it. It wasn't boring nor simple
either, I think I just developed this hatred for all characters - Tom for his
brutality, Daisy for her feminine, soft and almost retard-like character, Nick
for his emptiness and untruthfulness and Gatsby for being as blind as a bat
when it came down to everything. I told my English class that too. However,
three weeks after they started reading it, I came to sort of almost loving it.
I love the idea
portrayed together with the emotions it is built out of. Neither character can
be said to be a hundred per cent honest, but then there is nobody 100% honest
in this world either. We are all haunted by what we have done and what we have
or continue to want. Most of us are as distressed, confused and saddened as
Nick is. And these sensations makes out perspective unconsciously
subjective.
