Title: The nature of Tragedy.
Review: It is true the story is not particuarly Original, but to qoute the wisdom of solomon The only reason something is believed to be new is because we have forgoten the past. It is extremly well written with lavish description that is not laborious, but enjoyable. The choice of Narrator as Nick carroway is brilliant, as it gives proper perspective. I don't believe the Previous reviewers understand what Fiztgerald was trying to convey. The perspective reminds me Seneca's Thyestes in the it is about are desire to fill the emptiness in our souls. The charecters in the great gatsby are longing for something that will make them happy. Something that will revive the joys of the past. Tom buchuan and Gatsby are both trying to pursue the oldest pursuit of mankind; the Pursuit of Happiness. The Tragedy is that nothing will fill their emptiness even though they think they can.
