Of course you read this in high school, looking for symbolism with Dr. Eckleburg’s eyes and the green light at the end of the dock.
I recently re-read this, having read it at least once since high school. Here are some brief notes of themes from the book.
- Revenge
- Wrongful death
- Infidelity
- Love lost
- Love regained
- Socialites
- Haves and have nots
- Jazz age
This reading is part of my project to read more classics and more fiction. See my notes from War and Peace.
