How far would you agree with the view that 'The Great Gatsby' and…

- - - - NC IS VERY HONEST
      - BUT HE DISCOVERS THAT JB IS VERY DISHONEST
      - THIS IS SOMETHING THAT NC DISLIKES IN PEOPLE BUT FORGIVES JB FOR IT
      - NC ALSO ISN'T HAPPY WITH THE CAREFREE ROARING TWENTIES ATTITUDE THAT PEOPLE LIKE JB HAVE
      - NC SEES HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH JB AS SUPERFICIAL AND INSINCERE
    - - JB IS DISHONEST, BUT SHE IS HURT BY NC BECAUSE SHE REALLY BELIEVED THAT HE WOULD ALWAYS TELL THE TRUTH
      - JB CLAIMS THAT NC HAS ALSO BEEN CORRUPTED AND IS A DISHONEST PERSON TOO
  - - - GW IS WEAK AND DEFEATED BECAUSE OF HIS UNFULFILLED DREAMS
      - MW WANTS TO ACTUALLY ACHIEVE HER DREAMS SO SHE DISLIKES GW
      - MW GOES WITH TB BECAUSE HE HAS BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL
      - GW IS DEPENDANT ON OTHERS - HE GOT MARRIED IN SOMEONE ELSE'S SUIT
      - THE DOG LEASH SHOWS THAT MW WANTED TO BE CONTROLLED, SOMETHING GW WASN'T ABLE TO DO
  - - - TB USES MW AS A MISTRESS ON THE SIDE IN ORDER TO FIND SATISFACTION
      - TB GIVES SPEECHES ABOUT SCIENCE AND CIVILISATION, ETC.
      - HIS AUTHORITATIVE AND ACADEMIC STYLE OF TALKING CONFLICTS WITH DB'S FREE AND CHARMING STYLE
      - TB IS MUCH MORE FORMAL THAN DB AND IS UNHAPPY WITH HER MORE CASUAL DEMEANOUR
      - TB DOESN'T LIKE HOW DB ISN'T AS SERIOUS AS HE IS
    - - TB LIKES TO BE IN CONTROL
      - DB'S RELATIONSHIP WITH JG MAY BE AN ATTEMPT TO GAIN FREEDOM OVER SECURITY
      - BUT WHEN DB COMMITS A CRIME SHE GOES BACK WITH TB
      - AT THAT TIME SHE WOULD RATHER FEEL SAFE AND SECURE THAN SATISFIED
      - HIS STYLE OF CONVERSATION IS A LOT MORE DULL COMPARED TO DB'S CHARMING SPEECH
      - HE OFTEN CUTS DB OFF AND TRIES TO DOMINATE AND CONTROL PEOPLE AND CONVERSATIONS
      - DB DOESN'T LIKE HOW TB GOES ON RANTS ABOUT SCIENCE AND SOCIETY
      - DAISY ISN'T HAPPY WITH HOW TB IS ALWAYS VERY SERIOUS
    - - WHEN THEY WERE FIRST IN LOVE JG WAS POOR
      - DB IS MOST IN LOVE WITH MONEY
      - SO DB CHOOSES TB BECAUSE HE CAN OFFER HER A LOT OF MONEY
      - DB LIKES THE SECURITY THAT WEALTH CAN PROVIDE
      - DB CHOOSES JG WHEN HE ARGUES WITH TB, BUT WHEN DB AND JG COMMIT A CRIME SHE RUNS BACK TO TB LOOKING FOR SECURITY
      - DB IS UNSATISFIED BY THE PARTY THAT JG THROWS, SUGGESTING THAT THEIR PAST TOGETHER CAN'T BE RECREATED
      - DB IS ALSO UNHAPPY WITH JG'S CORRUPTION DUE TO HIS INVOLVEMENT WITH BOOTLEGGING
    - - JG IS UNHAPPY THAT DB IS UNWILLING TO DROP EVERYTHING SHE HAS WITH TB AND GO WITH HIM
      - JG ALSO IS WORRIED THAT DB HAS BEEN CORRUPTED AND ONLY LOVES MONEY
- - - - AW IS INDEPENDENT WHEN FW WOULD RATHER HAVE MORE DOMINANCE. SHE ISN'T AS EASILY WON OVER BY HIS CHARISMATIC SPEECHES AS EVERYONE ELSE.
      - FW WANTS AW TO LOVE HIM NO MATTER WHAT IT IS THAT HAPPENS. AFTER ARGUING HE IS WILLING TO FORGIVE HER IF SHE CONTINUES TO STAY BY HIM.
      - FW DICTATES HIS LIFE TO PLEASING AW
      - HE DOES THIS THE MOST WHEN HE IS TRYING TO CONVINCE HER TO KEEP THE BABY. HE ENSURES THAT HE IS ALWAYS SEEN AS STRONG AND CONFIDENT.
      - FW IS UNHAPPY THAT AW DOESN'T FORGIVE HIM AS EASILY AS HIS KIDS DO
      - HOWEVER, IT IS THIS THAT DISPLEASES AW THE MOST, SHE WANTS FW TO BE HIMSELF
    - - AW WANTS A HUSBAND WHO'S LOVE WILL SUPPORT HER SENSE OF SELF
      - FW ISN'T A PERSON IN HER EYES, HE IS AN ARCHETYPE. SHE WANTS SOMEONE WHO HAS THEIR OWN INDEPENDENT IDENTITY.
      - THE REALITY OF FW OFTEN DISAPPOINTS AW. HE CONSTANTLY DESIRES AW'S APPROVAL AND MAKES DECISIONS WITH THE GOAL OF IMPRESSING HER.
      - AW IS AN INDEPENDENT PERSON, BUT FW WANTS TO HAVE SOME CONTROL OVER HER.
      - IN AN ATTEMPT TO TAKE CONTROL OVER HERSELF BACK FROM FW, SHE RISKS HER LIFE TO HAVE AN ABORTION.
      - THIS SHOWS THAT THE RESTRICTIONS OF MARRIAGE CAN BE OVERWHELMING, ESPECIALLY TO INDEPENDENT PEOPLE LIKE AW.
      - THIS IS ALSO SHOWN IN HOW AW'S PERSPECTIVE IS FINALLY SHOWN BY ONE OF THE FINAL CHAPTERS
      - AW FEELS SHE HAS BEEN DISHONEST EVER SINCE SHE MET FW. SHE GRADUALLY BEGAN TAKING HIM SERIOUSLY AND LIVING HER LIFE BY HIM. EVENTUALLY EVERYTHING THAT MAKES HER UNIQUE IS GONE AND SHE BARELY EVEN RECOGNISES HERSELF.
      - AW DOESN'T DISLIKE FW. BUT SHE WAS ALWAYS GOING TO BE DISSATISFIED WITH FW AS A HUSBAND, BECAUSE THAT ISN'T HOW SHE SEES HIM.
      - AW'S BIGGEST MISTAKE WITH FW IS TREATING HIM LIKE HE MEANT MORE TO HER THAN HE DID.
      - SO SHE DOES SEE IT AS HER FAULT AND NOT FW'S. THAT IS WHY SHE TELLS HIM NOT TO BLAME HIMSELF IN HER NOTE.
  - - - HELEN IS UNHAPPY WITH THE DOCTOR
      - SHE DISLIKES THAT HE IS POORLY DRESSED
      - HG BELIEVES THAT THE DOCTOR SHE BEHAVE IN A VERY PARTICULAR WAY AND HAVE A CERTAIN DEMEANOUR
      - HELEN HOLDS APPEARANCES TO A VERY HIGH STANDARD
      - SO SHE IS ONLY SATISFIED WITH HER HOUSE SEEMING PERFECT
      - THIS IS WHY SHE LOVES TO DECORATE HOUSES
      - SHE FEELS THAT HER TASTE IS SUPERIOR TO EVERYONE ELSE'S
      - HELEN IS A VERY NERVOUS PERSON
      - SHE HOLDS HER LIFE TO A HIGH STANDARD AND IS VERY UNHAPPY WHEN THINGS DON'T GO EXACTLY HOW SHE WANTS THEM TO
      - HER CONSTANT WORKING AND KEEPING BUSY PREVENTS HER FROM NEEDING TO WORRY AND HELPS HER AVOID FIGHTING WITH HOWARD
      - HELEN AND HOWARD NEVER FIGHT IN THE NOVEL, BUT IT IS IMPLIED THAT THEY HAVE HAD A ROUGH MARRIAGE
      - THEY ARE VERY DIFFERENT PARTICULARLY IN THEIR ENERGY AND STYLE OF SPEAKING
      - HELEN MOSTLY MAKES PLANS ON HER OWN AND IS NOT VERY CONCERNED WITH HOWARD KNOWING OR HIS INPUT
      - HELEN IS EMBARRASSED BY JG'S MENTAL ILLNESS
      - WHEN SHE REALISES THAT THE WHEELERS KNOW ABOUT IT SHE WORRIES THAT SHE HAS BEEN THE CENTRE OF GOSSIP WITHIN THE COMMUNITY
    - - HOWARD COPES WITH HELEN BY LISTENING AND ENGAGING WITH HER AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE, SOMETIMES EVEN TURNING OFF HIS HEARING AID
      - HOWARD HAS VERY LITTLE ENERGY AND TALKS SLOWLY AND RARELY
      - THIS CONTRASTS WITH HELEN'S BRIGHT SUNNY DEMEANOUR AND CHATTINESS
  - - - MC UNDERSTANDS THAT MAINTAINING THEIR FRIENDSHIP WITH THE WHEELERS IS ESSENTIAL TO KEEPING SC HAPPY
      - MC DECORATES THEIR HOUSE IN A WAY THAT PLEASES AW
      - MC IS VERY CONCERNED WITH HOW SC FEELS, SHE DOESN'T WANT HIM TO BE UPSET IF THEY FALL OUT WITH THE WHEELERS
      - WHAT MC LIKED ABOUT SC WHEN THEY MET WAS HIS WAY OF TALKING LIKE MIX OF FARMER AND STREET BOY. SHE FOUND THIS TO BE CUTE
      - HOWEVER, WHEN HE BECAME SNOBBISH AND CRUEL TO HER, SHE FELT VERY SCARED OF HIM.
      - SC CALLED HER AN "IGNORANT CUNT" AND PUNCHED THE WALL. HIS AGGRESSIVE MASCULINITY THREATENS MC
      - MC IS VERY EASILY STRESSED OUT AND WORRIED BY LIFE IN THE REVOLUTIONARY HILL ESTATE.
      - MC HAS HAD TO LEARN AND ADAPT TO A LIFESTYLE THAT DOESN'T SUIT HER. SHE HAS ESPECIALLY HAD TO LEARN INTERIOR DECORATION
      - MC DECORATES THE HOUSE WELL ENOUGH, APART FROM THE PRIVATE BEDROOM, SUGGESTING THAT SHE IS NOT FULLY FITTED TO THIS LIFE SHE LIVES
    - - SC DOES APPRECIATE HOW MC HAS ADAPTED TO THEIR NEW LIFESTYLE IN THE REVOLUTIONARY HILL ESTATE.
      - SC IS HAPPY THAT MC HAS PLAYED THE ROLE OF THE SUPPORTIVE HOUSE WIFE.
      - SC IS HAPPY WITH MC'S ABILITY TO DECORATE THEIR HOUSE TO PLEASE AW
      - BUT SC DOESN'T LIKE THAT MC HAS STARTED TO SWEAT MORE OFTEN, AS IT MAKES HER SMELL BAD
      - SC ASSUMES THAT IT IS BECAUSE OF THE INCREASING STRESS THAT BEING HIS WIFE HAS PUT ON HER
      - SC LOVES MC DESPITE THEIR DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS
      - SC IS HAPPY THAT MC STUCK BY HIM WHEN HE WAS VERY UNKIND IN ARIZONA
      - WHEN SC WAS A KID HE REBELLED AGAINST HIS MOTHER'S REFINED HIGHER CLASS TASTES
      - BUT NOW THAT HE IS A DAD, HE DISAPPROVES OF HIS KIDS' APPEARANCES BECAUSE THEY DON'T SEEM TO BE DRESSED WELL ENOUGH
      - BUT HE ALSO SUGGESTS THAT HE MAY HAVE JUST BEEN UNHAPPY THAT THEY BROUGHT HIM BACK TO REALITY WHILE HE WAS DREAMING ABOUT AW
      - SC SEES FW AS WORLDLY, SO IT SATISFIES HIM TO SEE THEM AS EQUALS
      - BUT WHEN FW ACTS SNOBBISH AND ANNOUNCES THAT HE IS GOING TO THE EXQUISITE CITY OF PARIS WITH THE EXQUISITE AW, SC FEELS JEALOUS
      - UNHAPPY WITH THEIR PLAN, SC TELLS MC THAT IT SEEMS IMMATURE. HE IS ALSO UNHAPPY TO LOSE CONTACT WITH AW SO HE REFUSES TO COMFORT MC AS TO NOT REMIND HIMSELF OF IT
      - SO SC'S UNHAPPINESS WITH THE EUROPE PLAN LEADS TO HIM NEGLECTING MC
