The Great Gatsby Critics

'He is for most of the novel a force of corruption: a criminal, a bootlegger and an adulterer.'

'What matters to Gatsby matterrs to us; Gatsby's story is our story, his fate and the fate of the nation intwined.'

'Green is the colour of the promise, hope and renewal.'

'Daisy tells Gatsby he reminds her of an advertisment. This statement confirms that Daisy does not like Gatsby for himself but a superficial illusion he represents.'

'The green light which carries meaning at every level of the story- as Gatsby's go ahead sign, money, as the breast of the green world.'

'Reminder that god has been replaced by fading signs of American Materialism.'
