Gatsby's American Dream: Reading The Great Gatsby Critically, Chapter 1
2011 • E86 Jul 18, 2011 5m
In which John Green discusses the first chapter of F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel The Great Gatsby, including thoughts on the role that the ideas of the self-made man and the American dream fuel the beginning of the novel. Themes, metaphors, and symbols are all discussed--although hopefully not in that boring and unlikable way you all find so reprehensible.
