Amazing, amazing book this was.
I only recently just finished reading this book and i was so immersed in the story plot and so struck by the different characters in the book that I could hardly put the book down and when i did, i could not stop thinking about it.
Basically, the story is about a man named Gatsby who did everything he could to get the woman he loves, Daisy. Daisy is however married to another man called Tom Buchanan ( i call him Tom Banana because i don't like him hehehe) Another thing about this book is that it clearly illustrates the class hierarchy in America. Shows how materialism determines how a person lives and acts.
Tom Banana is a rich man with a repulsive personality. He is the typical , spoiled rich man who thinks he can do whatever he wants without repercussions and thinks he can get anything he wants with his money. He has a mistress called Myrtle Wilson who is peasant with a selfish dream of becoming rich even if it meant cheating on her husband. Her husband is a devoted man who does everything she asks of him and never questioned nor suspected her loyalty to him yet she deceives him, talks rot about him behind his back and engages in adultery with a married man.
The novel ends tragically though.
Poor Gatsby :(
