1) In chapter 8 we learn that perhaps Gatsby was \u00e2\u20ac\u0153living too long for with a single dream\u00e2\u20ac\ufffd (162) and in chapter 9 his father shows Nick a page from his journal he kept growing up (174). What sort of picture does this paint of Gatsby?<\/p>\n

2) Nick runs into Tom one last time on the last few pages of the novel and he says: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t forgive him or like him, but I saw that what he had done was, to him, entirely justified\u00e2\u20ac\ufffd (180). What does this seem to say about forgiveness? About the group?<\/div>\n
3) How does The Great Gatsby relate to current society? Is the novel still relevant?<\/div>\n
4) Does this novel have villains and heroes? Why, why not? If yes, who fits into these categories and why?<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
