Why so much hate on the Great Gatsby?
I thought it was great! You really need to look deeper if you're not getting it. Everything symbolizes something about the America of the era in which it takes place.
Who the hell cares about the little symbols hidden in that horrid text, if you can even call them that. "Oh, the color of the light at the end of the dock is green, and green means GO!" PSSH, hogwash.
It's not the light which is important, but it's Gatsby's reaching for the light. The light represents his dream, the American Dream. It is an unobtainable dream. He, Gatsby, of New Money, wishes to tread among "Old Money". In the changing America of Unequaled Corruption and Self-Interest the book is set. Rampant Consumerism, Apathy of Consequences, and the Changing Times are all themes explored in the novel.
You, my friend, do not read between the lines.They're all plebs, MartinOfRedwall, none of them appreciate literature like you. Kill them. Kill them for the books.
