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.
