What Makes The Great Gatsby Great?

Recently, I have read a claical novel, The Great Gatsby, Francis Key Fitzgerald is the author, who is one of the most outstanding writers in 20th century.I think all the plots in the novel are similar to the something happens in the today’s society.The story is told by Nick(Daisy’s cousin),who witnees a lot the ugly aspects of the society and human characters.Here is the story goes: Tom and Daisy married for a time and live in East Egg.In their opposite, living a very great wealthy man, called Gatsby.He hold parties day and night and get famous for this.Actually, Daisy and Gatsby fell in love a few years ago.At that time, Gatsby was very poor and dispatched into Europe because of war.Then, they broke up and Daisy married Tom, the second-generation rich.Latter, Gatsby comes back with social position and big fortunate, and he continues loving Daisy.At a car accident, Daisy kills the Tom’s mistre.To protect Daisy, Gatsby takes all the responsibility of the accident.Finally, Wilson(the husband of mistre)shoots Gatsby under the instigation of Tom.And Tom and Daisy set foot on Europe’s travelling.I think everyone feels pity for the Gatsby, for his infatuation to Daisy and for his foolish love, like the following two descriptions.①“--Was Daisy driving?---Yes, he said after a moment, but of course I’ll say I was.”(p154)②“the chauffeur –he was one of Wolfshiem’s

protégés-heard the shoots-”(p172).As we can see Gatsby undertakes the responsibility of the accident and that’s his cold ending.So what makes The Great Gatsby Great?I think the answer also is the image of Gatsby.Because of his profound love to Daisy even though the others become selfish and sophisticated in the society.He devotes himself to making big fortune for expecting Daisy’s return;he take responsibility of car accident at the expense of being put in the prison.Yes, this great man displays something called Profound Love when the society members’ hearts becoming colder and colder.And I always feel sympathetic to Gatsby’s consequence.We may say how stupid he is to pay so much to Daisy, but in other words, how persistent he is to his believing about love.He always thinks that all his behaviors can make Daisy change her mind and come back.Gatsby is a tragic hero in the novel, maybe his profound love and strong faith lead to his bad ending.But I always believe this two valuable things are the writer appeals to in that time, also works in today’s.Here’s my understanding to the question What Makes The Great Gatsby Great?
