The 1920’s was a time where people were able to go from rags to riches, industries were growing and making money, and it was also the era of the Prohibition, a law that banned alcohol. “The Great Gatsby” was able to reflect on noticeable and non-noticeable aspects of the 1920’s.

In the following passage, the tone is shown using these three literary devices. “About half way between West Egg and New York the motor road hastily joins the railroad and runs beside it for a quarter of a mile, so as to shrink away from a certain desolate area of land. This is a valley of ashes — a fantastic farm where ashes grow like wheat into ridges and hills and grotesque gardens; where ashes take the forms of houses and chimneys and rising smoke and, finally, with a transcendent effort, of men who move dimly and already crumbling through the powdery air.

One of Gatsby 's biggest lies was to himself all Gatsby wanted was for daisy to say she never loved tom and to run away with Gatsby, but he was deceiving himself there 's no way daisy never loved tom and how could she just walk away from the child they have together. Gatsby thinks that the world revolves around him and does not account for the other people in the equation.

When in love, humans tend to do everything possible to obtain the adoration of whom they desire. Even when people go out of their way in hopes of acquiring reciprocated feelings from who they love, sometimes it all ends up resulting in failure. In The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Jay Gatsby’s goal in life is to win the love of Daisy Buchanan. Everything Gatsby has worked for was for her to desire him over the many other rich and respected men of their society, including her husband. In spite of having a mansion, endless riches, and everything he wants at his fingertips, it all is pointless to Gatsby without having Daisy by his side.

After the affair between Daisy and Gatsby, as well as Tom and Myrtle was discovered, Tom and George made different decisions in how they dealt with the affair. Tom and Daisy decided to move away with their daughter to avoid their problems and guilt and hide in their wealth, but George on the other hand made the terrible decision to take “justice” into his own hands. After Tom told George Gatsby was the one having the affair with Myrtle and is who ran Myrtle over, George decided to go to Gatsby’s house and shoot Gatsby which ended in his death, and proceeded to kill himself in the same fashion. “They’re a rotten crowd,” I shouted across the lawn. “You’re worth the whole damn bunch put together.”
