  • Essay / Wrong values ​​- 1167

    The Great Gatsby written by F. Scott. Fitzgerald really focuses on the theme of misguided values ​​throughout the book. The three people facing problems regarding their personal goals are Daisy, Jordan, and Gatsby. Gatsby has a deep obsession with Daisy and he does everything to make her fall in love, while Daisy herself falls in love with everything around Gatsby other than him, himself, and it seems that Jordan is oblivious to the world. Fitzgerald uses picture models in this book to represent flaws. These image patterns can be broken down into voice, driving, and green light to illustrate the theme of wrong values. Fitzgerald uses the image model of Daisy's voice to represent materialism. In the novel The Great Gatsby, Daisy shows that she is materialistic by the way she speaks and sounds. In the book Daisy acts, talks and seems to be lucky, with this fortune all she cares about is more fortune. In Chapter 7, Gatsby suddenly says, interrupting Nick's description of his voice, "Her voice is full of money" (115) and Nick says, "She has an indiscreet voice" (115). When Gatsby says something negative about Daisy, it must be something quite serious because of the immense love he has for her. Tom Buchanan and Daisy finished bickering about going into town, immediately afterwards, as if nothing had happened, she started asking if everyone was going to have a cigarette before they left, then asked everyone the world if they wanted to bring something to drink. Daisy's life is based on luring people with her voice into profiting more or simply spending more of what isn't hers. Fitzgerald uses the image model of Daisy's reaction to Gatsby's shirts to represent materialism. Nick prepares Daisy and Gatsby for what ...... middle of paper ...... wrong values, if you have nothing else in life but to enjoy your well-being more and not talk than wealth, depending on others to pay attention. Because of your carelessness, or your obsession with someone who doesn't feel the same way and gives people the wrong impression of yourself, your values ​​are wrong. Wrong values ​​can blind you, just like love, Gatsby is a great example. Fitzgerald uses image models to represent the wrong values ​​to give a better picture in the readers' minds to get a better idea of ​​life about these typical wrong values ​​that everyone can be subjected to. Falling under the wrong values ​​presented in this book is human and it can be corrected with the proper priorities and this is what Fitzgerald is trying to bring out to the reader in his novel, The Great Gatsby.
