Themes are the overall ideas, sometimes morals, that a novel is shaped around. A few themes here are perhaps the shallowness of America's wealthy in the 1920's, the American Dream (and its decline), the issue of one's identity, and love and relationships.
Choose one of these themes or pick one of your own.
This response will be two-fold: first (after identifying the theme you'll be discussing), briefly tell me where you see this theme in the novel. Second, what does the novel tell us about that theme? What lesson/moral do we learn from this novel? What message was Fitzgerald trying to communicate to us?
This response should be at least 350 words.
You will respond to this question by leaving a comment on this post.
Remember: you must respond to at least 4 questions per novel.
