An American Nightmare. A Marxist Reading of F. Scott Fitzgerald's 'The Great Gatsby'

Seminar paper from the year 2014 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 1,0, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, language: English, abstract: To analyze Gatsby's character, and give a detailed description and argumentation of my thesis, I will mainly focus on Jay Gatsby's behavior throughout the novel, his vision of himself, as well as who he really was before he turned James Gatz into Jay Gatsby. Having explained Gatsby's circumstances, I will then continue to investigate in his relationship to Daisy and its real purpose. By briefly outlining Daisy's background and her own lifestyle, I will reveal why Gatsby feels so attracted to her.

Ich habe einen Master of Arts in American Studies und Bachelor of Arts Philosophie (Beifach) der Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz. Zur Recherche für meine Masterarbeit war ich in der Zine Library des Barnard College in New York City.
