Document Summary
Image sunk into the cultural background: gatsby uses stories to build who he is, forms a character that is build on classic cultural master plot. And then again at 14(cid:890)-151: the rest of the novel covers a short part of gatsby"s life, gatsby"s story is a tratgy, but the story doesn"t take narrative form of a comments on gatsby"s description. He could have just let his narration take over, but he doesn"t. In classical tragedy you don"t see the whole story: nick suppresses gatsby"s rise, the world series incident just happened. Why does he give us the history if: gatsby wants to build himself into this big figure with stories, but it, building a new building that looks really old, gatsby had moved in to a folly. These do not provide commentary, but doesn"t work this way: things don"t just happen, 98- i walked out the back way .
