A review by floralfox
The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald by SparkNotes, F. Scott Fitzgerald
3.0
Helped me clarify some points for teaching, but was also missing points that I thought would be good.
For instance, the book compares George and Gatsby, but I also see a lot of similarities between Gatsby and Myrtle.
I think Daisy's voice should be analyzed in here somewhere.
I'm surprised Meyer Wolfsheim isn't listed as a major character but Klipspringer is.
The SparkNotes edition seems mostly positive about Gatsby, who I find sort of despicable, so I would have liked a more nuanced analysis of him. It also seems to really trust Nick as a narrator, and I find him to be more biased than SparkNotes seems to.
