Topic > Misguided Values ​​- 1167

The Great Gatsby written by F. Scott. Fitzgerald really focuses on the theme of misguided values ​​throughout the book. The three people who face problems about their personal goals are Daisy, Jordan, and Gatsby. Gatsby has a deep obsession with Daisy and does everything to make her fall in love, when Daisy herself falls in love with everything around Gatsby except him, himself, and it seems that Jordan is oblivious to the world. Fitzgerald uses image models in this book to represent defects, such image models can be divided into voice, driving and green light to illustrate the theme of misleading values. Fitzgerald uses the image model of Daisy's voice to represent materialism. In the novel The Great Gatsby Daisy shows that she is materialistic by the way she talks and sounds. In the book Daisy acts, talks and seems to have good luck, with that luck all she cares about is more luck. In chapter 7 Gatsby suddenly says interrupting Nick's description of his voice, "His voice is full of money" (115) and Nick says, "He has an indiscreet voice" (115). When Gatsby says something negative about Daisy it must be something quite serious because of the immense love he has for her. Tom Buchanan and Daisy finished arguing about going into town, then as if nothing had happened she started asking if everyone wanted to have a cigarette before they went, and then she asked everyone if they wanted to bring something to drink. Daisy's life is based on seducing people with her voice to benefit further or simply to spend more of what is not hers. Fitzgerald uses the image scheme of Daisy's reaction to Gatsby's shirts to represent materialism. Nick urges Daisy and Gatsby to what... half of paper... misleading values, if you have nothing in life but to further your well-being and talk only about wealth, depend on others to look up to for your carelessness, or for your obsession with someone who doesn't feel the same and giving people the wrong impression of you, your values ​​are misguided. Wrong values ​​can blind you, just like love, Gatsby is a great example of that issue. Fitzgerald uses image models to represent the misguided values ​​to put a better image in the minds of the readers to have a better view of life on these typical misguided values ​​that everyone in the world can be subjected to. Falling under the misguided values ​​presented in this book is human and can be corrected with the right priorities and that is what Fitzgerald is trying to get the reader to get out of his novel, The Great Gatsby.
