The Great Gatsby Discussion Questions

Preface Why are we still reading a book written in the 1920's? What gives a book its longevity? How was the 1920's a reaction to WWI? Some people think that having money leads to happiness. Do you agree? Why or why not? What are the advantages or disadvantages of being wealthy. What is the "American Dream"? Where did it originate, and how has it changed over the centuries? Have you ever wanted to relive a moment from your past, to redo it? Describe the situation. How and why would you change the past?

Chapter 1 Notice how many times Fitzgerald uses the words hope, or dream. Why does he do this? Nick starts the novel by relaying his father's advice "Whenever you feel like criticizing anyone, just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had." List Nick's advantages. Does he reserve judgment in the novel? Pay attention to time. What is the day and year during the first scene at Daisy's house?

Chapter 1 (cont.) Describe Nick. What facts do you know about him, and what do you infer about him? What kind of a narrator do you think he will be? What image does the author use to describe Jordan Baker? What does it mean? How does Nick react to Jordan? What does Tom's behavior reveal about his character?

Chapter 2 Describe the "valley of ashes." What does it look like and what does it represent? Describe Mr. Wilson and Myrtle. Do they seem to fit into the setting? What more have you learned about Nick in this chapter? Is he similar or different than the people he spends his time with? Describe the violent act Tom committed against Myrtle. What does this reveal about him?
