Gatsby Essy

Gatsby is not of royal wideness but fulfills solely the other criteria of a sad numbfish. Like everything else, the typical sad hero has evolved greatly since its beginning years and Fitzgerald has made a large role to its evolution with his tragedy, The Great Gatsby. Jay Gatsby is considered a forward- looking at day sad hero because he fulfills both of the expectations a tragic hero in todays day and age has. The first off expectation that Gatsby fulfills to be a modern-day day tragic hero is that he has a Hamartia. His Hamartia is his obsession everyplace having Daisy to himself.He considers her as the last thing in conduct that he needs in order to have perfection. She is the hardly false dream that he chases and in the closedown, dies because of her, which is emblematic of her devastating impact on his life. of all timeything he does in life is geargond towards his last of having Daisys love life. A retell to face when come off accredits Gatsbys Hamart ia is, Then it had merely the stars to which he had aspired on that June night. He came alive to me, delivered all of a sudden from the womb of his purposeless splendor (Fitzgerald 79).Nick realizes all of Gatsbys parties and everything Gatsby does is to reach his ideal, Daisy. This flaw of Gatsbys is what indirectly leads to his horrific death. Something else that happens to Gatsby which makes him a tragic hero is Hubris. Ever since the beginning of his life, Gatsby has al focuss envisioned himself as better than what he was given. He was born(p) poor, but worked to be rich and successful, all for Daisy. He is too arrogant though, to realize he will never piddle Daisy. He thinks himself too powerful and cannot ascertain how Daisy cannot ossibly love him enough to leave Tom.A mention to prove this is, Was already behind him, somewhere back in that vast abstrusity beyond the city, where the dark fields of the democracy rolled on under the night. (Fitzgerald 189). He is too c onceited to realize that his unratified money isnt enough for Daisy to fully love him back. His arrogance is what leads to his destruction in the end by the Gods. Pathos is another prerequisite Gatsby fulfills in being a modern day tragic hero. Although Gatsby makes many mistakes that are indirectly the cause of his death, he unsloped didnt know better.He cant beholdm to get over his obsession of Daisy, as he is dodge to the truth. Gatsby is a romantic dreamer who believes he will win the love of his life by gaining wealth. Daisy, however, is recognisely undeserving of his devotion. This is what causes the lecturer to know empathy with Gatsby at the end. Its not his teddy that he cant provem to notice how dilettante and button-down Daisy really is. A quote to prove Gatsbys absolute love for Daisy is, He stretched his arms to warm water(Fitzgerald 25). This reters to whenGatsby is seen looking at the green light hint to Daisys house. W this, the reader can see the extrem e desire Gatsby has for Daisy, but no matter how much he reaches for her, he will never be competent to have her. This however, is something Gatsby doesnt realize, making the reader feel compassion for his blindness to the truth. Catharsis is in any case something else seen in The Great Gatsby that makes Gatsby a tragic hero. Towards the end of the novel, the readers start to realize his complete carelessness and selfishness.He wholly cares about himself and oes what he feels is best for himself, not really fetching into consideration how his decisions will affect anyone else. A example of his recklessness would be myrtle Wilsons death. Although Daisy was the one who ran her over, Gatsby showed no remorse with cleansing Myrtle and even after he stepped on the extremity brake and Daisy condemnable into his thrash, he drove on without sadness of leaving her there. A quote to show this is, So I pulled on the emergency brake. Then she fell over into my lap and I drove on (Fitzg erald 137).Gatsby couldve advantageously turned the car around and went ack to see if Myrtle was okay but he decided to drive on, which shows how he only cares for himself. Even when he became friends with Nick, he only did so to get closer with Daisy. Daisys materialistic outlook influences Jay enough to think that way too. So everything that Gatsby ever does, is all for his person-to-person gain and his dream of getting Daisy. Gatsbys calamity death is the one of the things that happens to him which makes him a tragic hero. Gatsby is tragically murdered by Mr.
