I.m Korean(and so not good at English, plz take it natural). <br>I've read this novel for 2 weeks in commuting train. <br>It was written in 1920's , you know, therefore it was hard for foreigner to interpret in his own language, it is too old-fashioned.<br><br>'Cause I has been reading the novels by Raymond Carver(my favorite author), I couldn't help comparing The Great Gatsby with Carver's ones.<br>As for me, the distinguish difference between two sides is the economic circumstances surronding the characters.<br>In the Great Gatsby, the persons are not worring about money, they just order the butlers, nurses and drivers what they want...<br>Their souls was corrupted by non-labor life. <br>If Gatsby didn't get much money, (perhaps) he would remain a dreamer who did not stand on abstract concept(blind love)...<br><br>ps: I am not a North Korean ^^
