The Great Gatsby is a powerful novel...I wonder what Fitzgerald would think of these times.

I remember feeling so sad that so many of these people didn't really understand what living was...life was one big continuous party for them. There was nothing of substance. Perhaps Gatsby was lucky in that he never won Daisy!

Considering the ages-old continent of "the old Dutch sailors"
one comes to the conclusion that the spirit of idealism can be roughed up across centuries of serfdom, slavery of all types, pogroms, religious intolerance and racial hatred, etc. In this context, one of the books great motifs might be that America with all its complexities, represents the bloodied survival of the ideal.
