Modernism in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby
Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that’s no matter-to-morrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther… And one fine morning- So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
The book that follows will provide an introduction to a modernist reading of The Great Gatsby. My objective is to explain the particular and particularly modern manner in which Fitzgerald sought symbolically, figurally, narratively, mythically or formally to express The American Dream in his masterpiece.
