Similarities between the characters, Hamlet and Jay Gatsby

[vizwiz]

Hi there! I am new to this forum and I don't know if this is the right place to post this topic or not but please excuse me if I'm in the wrong spot.

okay, coming to the point I am writing a comparison essay on the books, Hamlet by William Shakespeare and The Great Gatsby by F.Fitzgerald. This is the first time I am writing a comparison essay and I have done some research and learned the right format to do it.

Now can some help me find some similarities between the characters Prince Hamlet and Jay Gatsby?

Thank you!

Please do it yourself, we won't do it for you

Well, they were both men. Honestly, that is all I can really help you with. I haven't read Hamlet. But I know I would have to do it if I was writing the paper. Sorry to say this, but there is really nothing better than hard work.

Why don't you offer some of your current thoughts and we can get a discussion going? I guess for similarities, they are both tragic figures and don't fit into the world they live in.

Hamlet had his shirts sent to him by Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. Gatsby used a man in London introduced to him by Wolfsheim.

I think R&G and Wolfsheim had some secret business deals. In fact I hear that without Guildenstern, the 1919 world series rigging would never have been a possibility.

Gatsby has about as much connection to Hamlet as Eliot Templeton who had his initials embroidered on his underpants.

[dfloyd]

But they may have been included in the coronet he had embroidered after he found out he had inherited or thought he had inherited a baonetcy.
