'Wearing a Mask, Making a Contrast\r'

'Alex Lu 2012/10/24 ENG2100+2150 Professor Lombardi erosion a Mask, Making a dividing line â€Å"Under the Red, White, and Blue then stretch out the g aging hat, if that will move her; If you dirty dog bounce high, bounce for her too, Till she shout out ‘Lover, g grey-haired-hatted, high-bouncing bopr, I must have you! ’” This glorious and connotative quote appears at the seed of the novel, The with child(p) Gatsby. Gatsby wearing his gold hat, a kind of shams represent wealthy and fastness class, dreaming one and only(a) day he could have Daisy again.As a matter of reddent, not only Gatsby, unless also some other main spirits involved in this chef-doeuvre all put on their possess specious fronts in order to chasing their dreams of life. However, the humankind makes them back to earth. Those contrast between dream and reality happened in the novel deeply express their characteristic so farthest as to the true reason of the Great Gatsbyâ€⠄¢s tragedy. First of all, Gatsby, who appears in the patronage of novel, is the most signifi mintt character we should analysis.His chimerical fronts so-and-so be concisely reason from the quote at the very commencement ceremony—The Golden Hat, a simple notwithstanding accurate symbol, show readers that Gatsby live a very luxury but fatuous life; it seems that Gatsby who wearing a graphic hat dance and bounce in order to cheer Daisy up, hope those clobber stuff, which also let Gatsby lose Daisy, can help him win Daisy back. * Gatsby deliberately builds up an image that a secret large man who hold luxurious parties either night, Meanwhile, no one knows him clearly intromit his only friends come off.The following piece of writing, which impress me most in whole story, can show that Gatsby try his best to get out everyone a superb impression, a blue(a) man he is. â€Å"It faced †or seemed to face †the whole external instauration for an instant, and t hen concentrated on you with an overwhelming prejudice in your favor. It understood you good so far as you valued to be understood, believed in you as you would resembling to believe in yourself, and assured you that it had on the nose the impression of you that, at your best, you hoped to convey. His image operation helped him gain so many attentions of Daisy and off friendship, which make him feel satisfied. Nevertheless, this kind of specious front not only became a tough shield at pass by that keeps all right values as well as real Daisy away from his mind, but also bounds him tightly, be hunting expedition of which, at Gatsby’s funeral, only did pass and Gatsby’s old father attended. In this situation, I contend that it is his imitative front, which Gatsby want to contain, pulverise his dream of Daisy and furthermore an American dream. Next, I believe that Daisy is a very abstruse woman, who fluid has desire to chasing true love; not only a mammonis t. Nonetheless, because of the fact that Daisy was elevated up by an old money family, she wasn’t able to dispense with those wealthy life and constraint from old money. Acting as an elegant gentlewoman who come from Noble family gradually break down her false front. * I contend that her false front make her break down a totally loser in love. As I mentioned above, Daisy was a girl raised up in a rich environment.Lavish company and social contact with diametrical rich guy had already become part of her life or even her value. I don’t consider Daisy is a devil who only cares somewhat money and power like often of people comment. On the contrary, she expects a rooter who deed loves her will appear one day. Coincidence is that Gatsby run her lives when she found tomcat have a mistress. If she was a materialist, she would come out tom immediately without any hesitation. As the matter of fact, she didn’t do it.Even when Gatsby and Tom quarreled together or so who Daisy loved truly, Daisy utter that, â€Å"I did love him once †but I loved you too.. ” According to her words, she still had a tender side quite of a money search engine. The mask she put on is the key that cause Daisy’s complicated feeling about Tom and Gatsby. On the one hand, she wanted to keep her arrogant figure, whereas she wanted to mark love either, which leads the conflict in Daisy’s core group. Finally, Daisy lost her last opportunity to fury the whole stale tradition. In this layer, she is emphatically a loser and a tragic character. Finally, although most readers of the Great Gatsby have believed that Nick may be the only good rational person in the novel, I contend that he put on his mask either. Nick is a roughhewn youngster after world warfare one who wanted to live in pep pill class, whereas didn’t know whether he can get used to it. So, he met his cousin, Daisy, and her husband, an old money, in order to embark in their social hub. In the novel, Nick was disturbed by Tom and Gatsby and pretend in last-placely, even if he didn’t want to join their countless party and other social activities.Nick put on his false front to pretended that he was one of them, those upper class people, because of which, he experience this whole tragedy. At last, dependable like Nick himself said that he gets tired of all those crazy people. give thanks to his mask, he was able to see upper class crystal clear. * Those masks mentioned above separate each character. With the help of masks, each character created a gap between their heart and their appearance. It is those un-bridged gap made by false front result in the final tragedy.\r\n'
