Biography Great Gatsby

It is read in 10 minutes, the original-4.5 hours of the film “The Great Gatsby” “If you measure the personality of it by the ability to show yourself, then in Gatsby there was something truly magnificent, some kind of increased sensitivity to all the promises of life, it was a rare gift of hope, a romantic fuse that I never met in anyone else.” Nick Carraauay belongs to the venerable prosperous family of one of the small towns of the Middle West.

In the city, he settled in the suburbs: in the backyards of the Long Island Strait, two exactly the same capes, separated by a bad bay: East-EGG and West-EGG; In West-Egge, between two luxurious villas, and a house was stuck, which he rented for eighty dollars a month. In a more fashionable East-Egge, his second cousin Daisie lives. She is married to Tom Buchenen. Tom is fabulously rich, studied in Yela simultaneously with the nickname, and even then Nick was very unsympathetic to his aggressive-uttezer manner of behavior.

Tom began to change his wife back in the honeymoon; And now he does not consider it necessary to hide from Nick his connection with Mirtle Wilson, the wife of the owner of the gas station and car repair, which is located halfway between West-Egg and New York, where the highway almost run up to the railway and runs next to her with a quarter of Mili. Daisie also knows about her husband's betrayals, it torments her; From the first visit to them, Nick had the impression that Desie needs to run from this house immediately.

Advertising by summer evenings at the villa of Nick Nick Sounds Music; According to the weekend, his “Rolls-Royce” turns into a regular bus to New York, transporting huge number of guests, and the multi-seat Ford runs between Villa and the station. On Mondays, eight servants and a specially hired second gardener remove traces of destruction all day. Soon Nick receives an official invitation to a party to Mr.

Gatsby and turns out to be one of the very few invited: they did not wait for the invitation, they just came there. No one in the crowd of guests is close to the owner; Not everyone knows him in the face. His mysterious, romantic figure is of acute interest - and speculation multiply in the crowd: some claim that Gatsby killed a man, others - that he was Butleger, nephew von Handenburg and the second cousin of the devil, and during the war he was a German spy.

They also say that he studied at Oxford. In the crowd of his guests, he is alone, sober and restrained. The society, which enjoyed the hospitality of Gatsby, paid him that nothing knew about him. Nick gets to know Gatsby almost by accident: having talked with some man-they turned out to be fellow soldiers-he noticed that he was somewhat constrained by the position of a guest unfamiliar with the owner, and receives in response: "So it is me-Gatsby." Advertising after several meetings Gatsby asks Nick about the service.

Embarrassed, he walks around Bu around for a long time, as proof of his respectability, he presents a medal from Montenegro, which was awarded in the war, and his oxford photograph; Finally, a childishly says that Jordan Baker will present his request-Nick met her visiting Gatsby, and met his sister Desie’s house: Jordan was her friend. The request was simple-to somehow invite Desi to her tea, so that, allegedly by chance, in a neighborly way, Gatsby could see her, Jordan said that in the fall of G.

But before the wedding lunch, throwing a groom's gift into the garbage basket-a pearl necklace for three hundred and fifty thousand dollars, Daisi drunk as a sa both, and squeezed in one time. The hand is some kind of letter, and in the other-a bottle of Sotern, begged a friend to refuse her groom. However, she was put in a cold bath, they were given a smell of an ammonia, put a necklace around her neck, and she "got married like a cute." Advertising The meeting took place; Desi saw his house for Gatsby, it was very important; The festivities in the villa ceased, and Gatsby replaced all the servants with others who are able to be silent, "because Desi often began to be with him.

Gatsby also met Tom, who showed an active rejection of himself, his house, his guests and became interested in the source of his income, probably dubious. Everyone understands that Tom and Gatsby entered into a decisive fight for Daisy. Halfway, Tom calls to refuel to Wilson - he announces that he intends to leave forever and take his wife: he suspected something was amiss, but does not connect her betrayals with Tom.

Tom comes into a frenzy, realizing that both his wife and mistresses can lose both. In New York, the explanation took place: Gatsby says that Desie did not love him and never loved, he was just poor and she was tired of waiting; In response to this, Tom is exposed by the source of his income, really illegal: the prudence of a very large scope. Daisy is shocked; She tends to stay with Tom.

Understanding that he had won, on the way back, Tom tells his wife to go in a cream car with Gatsby; Behind her in the retired dark blue Ford is followed by the rest. Having drove up to the gas station, they see the crowd and the body of the shot down myrtle.From the window, she saw Tom with Jordan, whom she took for Desi, in a large cream car, but her husband locked her, and she could not fit; When the car was returning, Mirtle, freeing from under the castle, rushed to her.

Everything happened very quickly, there were practically no witnesses, the car did not even slow down. From Gatsby, Nick found out that Desie was driving. Advertising until the morning of Gatsby stayed under her windows to be near, if she suddenly needs. Nick looked out the window - Tom and Desi sat together, like something one - spouses or, perhaps, accomplices; But he did not have the spirit to take the last hope of Gatsby.

Only at four in the morning Nick heard a taxi with Gatsby. Nick did not want to leave him alone, and since that morning Gatsby wanted to talk about Desi, and only about Desi, it was then that Nick recognized the strange story of his youth and his love. James Getz - that was his real name. He changed him at the age of seventeen when he saw Dan Cody’s yacht and warned Dan about the beginning of the storm.

His parents were simple farmers - in his dreams he never recognized them with his parents. He invented Jay Gatsby in full accordance with the tastes and concepts of a seventeen -year -old boy and remained faithful to this invention until the very end. He recognized women early and, spoiled by them, learned to despise them. Confusion constantly reigned in his soul; He believed in the unreality of the real, that the world is firmly and reliably resting on the wings of the fairies.

When he, having stood on the oars, looked from the bottom up at the white corps of the Cody yacht, it seemed to him that all the beautiful and amazing that was in the world was embodied in it. Dan Cody, a millionaire, who got rich on the silver mines of Nevada and operations with Montan oil, took him on a yacht - first Stuard, then he became a senior assistant, captain, secretary; For five years they swam around the continent; Then Dan died.

From the inheritance of twenty -five thousand dollars, which Dan left him, he did not receive a cent, without understanding, because of what legal intricacies. And he stayed with the fact that he gave him a kind of experience of these five years: the abstract scheme of Jay Gatsby was clothed in flesh and blood and became a man. Daisy was the first “girl from society” in his way.

The first time she seemed to him dizzying him. He began to visit her house - first in the company of other officers, then one. He had never seen such a beautiful house, but he well understood that he was not rightly in this house. The military uniform, who served his invisible cloak, could fall off his shoulders at any moment, and under him he was only a young man without a family and a tribe and without a penny in his pocket.

And so he tried not to miss time. He probably hoped to take what could be left, but it turned out to doom himself to the eternal service of the shrine. She disappeared in her rich house, in her rich, to the edges of a full life, and he remained with nothing - except for the strange feeling that they are now husband and wife. With stunning clarity, Gatsby comprehended the secret of his youth in captivity and, under the protection of wealth, the military career was a success to him: at the end of the war, he was already a major.

He was eager to home, but due to the misunderstanding he was in Oxford-any of the victorious countries could listen to the course at any University of Europe for free. In the letters of Desi, nervousness and longing shone; She was young; She wanted to arrange her life now, today; She needed to make a decision, and that it came, some power was required-love, money, undeniable benefit; Tom arose.

Gatsby received a letter back in Oxford. Saying goodbye to Gatsby this morning, Nick, already moving away, shouted: “The insignificance is insignificant, here they are! You are alone standing them all together! Advertising, not hoping for justice, the distraught Wilson came to him, learned from him to whom the car belongs, and killed Gatsby, and then himself. Three people were attended by the funeral: Nick, Mr.

Getz - the father of Gatsby, and only one of the many guests, although Nick called all the regulars of Gatsby parties. When he called Daisy, they told him that she and Tom left and left no address. They were careless creatures, Tom and Desi, they broke things and people, and then they ran away and hid for their money, their all-consuming carelessness or something else that their union was holding on, leaving others to remove after them.
