Who can be considered a great person? Different people may have different opinions on this matter. Many works of literature attempt to describe what is “great.” However, until now there is still no official definition of "great man". The novel The Great Gatsby by the famous author F.Scott Fitzgerald describes the whole life of an idealist: Gatsby. Although F. Scott Fitzgerald calls the novel "The Great Gatsby", great people would never just consider their worldview, think unrealistic thoughts, ignore laws like the idealistic Gatsby does. It is obvious that as an idealist, Gatsby is too unrealistic. However, sometimes people need to be very objective in order to effectively resolve problems such as business transactions. As for Gatsby, he is always unrealistic after afternoon tea with Daisy. He behaves like a child. He can't wait to show off how rich he is by showing Daisy his expensive clothes and big house. During this period, he loses his temper and thinks unrealistically. For example, Gatsby asks Daisy to leave her husband. It is therefore clear that his idealism is his most fatal flaw. Gatsby thinks that Daisy will love him forever, even if she has a husband and a child. In other words, Gatsby lives in his perfect world rather than the real world. At the beginning of their love, Gatsby lets himself be guided by his emotion and neglects his status and that of Daisy. This event foreshadows their tragic love. As the quote says: “This amazed him: he had never been in such a magnificent house before. But what gave it an air of breathless intensity was that Daisy lived there – it was as casual a thing for her as her tent at camp was for him” (F. Scott Fitzgerald 134). Daisy is everything Gatsby wants to be and be with. In other words, she represents...... middle of paper ...... Scott Fitzgerald creating Gatsby is that Fitzgerald is trying to remind people that humans cannot live in their dream. People should not get lost in daydreaming. Everyone must move forward, because life can become brilliant if they can forget about unrealistic desires. Just like the quotes from The Curious Case of Benjamin Button: “You might be mad as a rabid dog at the way things turned out. You can swear and curse fate, but when the end comes, you have to let go. » Work cited1. ^ Fitzgerald F. Scott. The Great Gatsby.
