A review by secreteeyore
The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald

4.0

Poor Gatsby. I feel for him. Trying to prove one's worth to the world and to thereby justify a far reaching love, he ended up living in a fishbowl of broken dreams, a glittery fraud. Fitzgerald never really does say what becomes of Daisy, though I suspect her torment of living in a loveless/abusive marriage and carrying the weight of three murders on her shoulders is pain unendurable. I think Fitzgerald used the man in the library with the owl like glasses, the only one who showed up at his funeral, to sum up Gatsby eulogize him properly: "poor bastard".
