Great Gatsby [11]
With everything that goes on in the novel The Great Gatsby, by Scott F. Fitzgerald, many different themes come about as a result. Out of all the themes that pop up, such as wealth, social status, and love, the one that stands out the most is dissatisfaction. All of the main characters have a part of themselves that is not happy with where they are at in life and it is a major key in the reason why they do what they do throughout the book. Tom Buchanan resorts to cheating on his superficial wife and Myrtle Wilson cheats on her husband because she wants out of her poor life. Jordan Baker seems to not be all that happy with herself, just like how Nick Carraway worries over his future as well as his want to get away from all of the corrupt people in his life.
