Similarities Between Gatsby And Othello

Through the failed dreams of Gatsby, Daisy, and Nick, The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald, establishes the idea that dreams cannot be achieved after they are deferred. The first person to prolong their dream, and make it impossible to achieve, is Jay Gatsby. Jay Gatsby’s dream is to be with Daisy. He almost has this dream even before he went off

Gatsby has his mind so remarkably revolved around Daisy that he has started to think illogically. He not only wants to erase the past but also longs Daisy to confess that she has only loved him. This would give him confirmation that repeating the past is obtainable. Gatsby reluctantly criticizes Nick on his way of thinking with the phrase, “Can’t repeat the past?... Why of course you can!” This passage shows how strongly Gatsby lusts for the idea that he can repeat the time in which Daisy only ever loved him and she did not have a family of her own.

“The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves”, is a quote by the man himself, William Shakespeare, concerning human responsibility, otherwise known as the capability of completing an obligation, or duty sufficiently. These commitments or duties play a role in how a situation will play out, and dictate the consequences that follow. The choices made from the beginning to the end in William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet are all examples of how people’s decisions, primarily those of Tybalt, Mercutio and Friar Lawrence, lead to a heartbreaking fallout. The pressure and burden weighing down the young lovers ultimately overwhelms them, causing an expeditious chain reaction. The influences behind each character’s ill-considered judgments,

The moment Gatsby realizes that Daisy will not be with him, his dream dies. Without any dreams to aspire to achieve Gatsby’s purpose in life becomes nonexistent. All of his decisions and his attachment to the past undeniably influenced his

He looked around him wildly, as if the past were lurking here in the shadow of his house, just out of reach of his hand. "I 'm going to fix everything just the way it was before," [...] "She 'll see. "”(6.128) To Nick it seems that Gatsby had this dream of Daisy running back to him because of how much he’s changed financially. However, that’s not the case. This is just one of the reasons love can’t be bought.

Tom lies to Myrtle about Daisy’s religious affiliations to get out of marrying her, and Daisy can’t bring herself to completely cut ties with Tom to recreate the past with Gatsby. They never think of their partners and equals, with Daisy showing disdain for Gatsby’s parties, and Tom harshly reminding Myrle of her place in the lower class. They take away the choice of their partners, returning to their comfortable positions at the top of society, the position they were born into, when all is said and done. In the middle are the social climbers, who, although not born wealthy, try in their own ways to reach that status, and are ultimately thwarted because of their starting point; they struggled against the current of a harsh and indifferent world and got swept away. For example, Myrtle is a resident of the Valley of Ashes.

The play Hamlet by William Shakespeare is a realistic representation of the duality of human nature: one which makes the readers pause and observe the motivations of a resolute avenger who undergoes a metamorphosis of mental activity after his encounter with the ghost of his father but due to his conscience, he later becomes a procrastinator with a puzzled will. As a dramatist, William Shakespeare is famous for his character portrayals. If a character is too perfect, it is impossible for us to relate to him. Therefore, the titular protagonist, Hamlet is presented with all his foibles and blemishes which makes him a character who readers can easily relate to. Harold Bloom (1990) claimed that Shakespeare created a “human character.” Hamlet’s conflict about to kill or not to kill makes him relatable.

Throughout the story, Dexter aspires to live by his winter dreams, only to be denied and welcomed like a cycle, which wears his self out in the end. He never dreams to be happy with Judy, Irene or his enterprise. All there is for him is achievement and having achieved the economic success, social acceptance and coming to terms with the fact that “he would love her until the day he was too old for loving--but he could not have her,” he was petrified and dull as a statue now. Cruel and demanding society, cloaked under the American Dream, destroys a young stargazer and it does not care. He will stay as unsignificant and impotent as every other American Dream child, nothing left

How bad is forbidden love? It’s forbidden for a reason. People want what they can’t have and then when they get it, they have to face the consequences. The two star-crossed lovers in “Romeo and Juliet” by William Shakespeare decided to ignore the consequences and continue with their forbidden love. Romeo let immaturity, infatuation and impulsiveness become the death of himself, Juliet, and a few more characters.

He’s struggling to believe that Desdemona is cheating on him. John Crowther author of “No fear Shakespeare” translates this line as, “What a wonderful girl! God help me, I love you! And when I stop loving you, the universe will fall back into the chaos that was there when time began” (Crowther). Even though Desdemona is completely innocent of infidelity, Iago keeps planting evidence to create doubt in Othello’s mind.

He dropped everything, reinvented himself, and never looked back. Gatsby’s life is very questionable, but his thoughts are not all realistic. He begins to lose his admirable qualities as he does not ask Daisy how she feels about him or any situation at hand, but rather is so wrapped up in winning her over that he does not realize he is losing her by doing so. His wealthy lifestyle and trying to act as Tom does causes him to corrupt himself and the things that Daisy loves about him. Gatsby wants Daisy to leave her own life behind but that is unreasonable.

His dream encompasses his entire being and sense of self. The entire basis for every action he does is because of his intense love for Daisy Buchanan, and his entire reason for existence is stolen away from him when Daisy will not rebuke her marriage with Tom. Before Gatsby is killed by George Wilson, Gatsby dies internally to himself, because he has no real reason to go on living. Without Daisy’s love or the prospect of attaining Daisy’s love, he has no reason to continue being Jay Gatsby. He did not care about wealth, prestige, or fame, only Daisy, and once he realizes this will never be reality, he is plucked from his way of life into a brand new world.

The Not So Great Gatsby In the book The Great Gatsby by F.Scott fitzgerald, Gatsby lies about his family, his wealth, and his past, and therefore he does not deserve the title “The Great Gatsby”. James Gatz is Jay Gatsby’s real name. Gatsby states that his name is Jay Gatsby but that is not the truth. Gatsby lies about how he earned his wealth, lies about his parents being dead, and he disregards others’ feelings for his obsession with his past girlfriend, Daisy. Gatsby is dishonest and obsessive person and does not deserve to be called The Great.

The name Burkhart is very close to the words “broke heart.” The other men in her life [being Kelso and Hyde] either abandoned her, cheated on her, or were incapable of committing to her. It is easy enough to imagine Jackie decades later, broken hearted and alone. Why wouldn’t she pine for the admirer who was never really there? Fez is her attempt to turn a tragedy into a fairy tale, but even she knows that her wish can never come true. This is why she can never give him a real identity.

Gatsby holds parties in hopes that Daisy will attend and they will reconnect, but all that effort he put into making this home for Daisy was all for naught. Daisy did not deserve a man as giving as Gatsby. She toyed him for every penny he was worth. Gatsby cannot seem to get his head out of the gutter in regards to Daisy even though he is keenly aware of how manipulative she was. The green dock light was described as “ a minute and far away”, but Daisy was not the dream he should strive for to begin
