Analysis
A. Close Reading Analysis
1. Answer the questions to check your comprehension .
a. Choose one/ two actions / decisions of Gatsby. State his actions / decisions that are significant to
the plot. Then state if you agree or disagree with his actions . then, defend your answer.
When Gatsby said to Daisy that, Daisy will said the truth to her husband and after, they will lived together. I’m
disagree, because in the end Daisy choose her husband over Gatsby. And because of that Gatsby gets frustrated
because he build those palace because of her but in the end it becomes useless.
b. What makes Gatsby ‘Great’? do you think the title is ironic?. Defend your answer.
In one sense, the title of the novel is ironic; the title character is neither “great” nor named Gatsby. He is a criminal
whose real name is James Gatz, and the life he has created for himself is an illusion. By the same token, the title of
the novel refers to the theatrical skill with which Gatsby makes this illusion seem real: the moniker “the Great
Gatsby” suggests the sort of vaudeville billing that would have been given to an acrobat, an escape artist, or a
magician. He called The Great Gatsby, because even if he gaves the people parties, or whatever they want in
his palace no one of them came to his funeral service.
c. At the end of the story, what was the sad reality that made Nick very frustrating towards the people around
him.
Nick hates the people around him. They are vacuous self-indulgent ghosts of real people. Although thousands of
people attended Gatsby’s parties and enjoyed his hospitality, none, including Daisy, will attend Gatsby's funeral.
Nick sums these ideas best near the end of the novel when he tells Gatsby, "You're worth the whole damn bunch
put together."

did just to get Daisy’s attention.

Daisy, and he still in love with Daisy. Gatsby wants to get attention of Daisy because, he wants to get back Daisy. He wants
to stay Daisy beside him.

Fitzgerald's purpose was to satirize the values of the upper class during the period of the "Roaring Twenties," and
to question the materialistic meaning of the allusive "American Dream." The author illuminates the lack of morality in
a society where wealth, glamour, and the accumulation of things is the basis upon which true happiness is believed
to be found.

The script for the one act play
Nick: Your place looks like world’s Fair.
Gatsby: Does it?. I have been glancing into some of the rooms. Let’s go to Coney island, old sport in my car.
Nick: it’s too late.
Gatsby: Well, suppose we take a plunge in the swimming pool? I haven’t made use of it all summer.
Nick: I’ve got to go to bed.
Gatsby: All right.
Nick: I talked with Miss Barker. I’m going to call up Daisy tomorrow and invite her over here tea.
Gatsby: Oh, that’s all right. I don’t want to put you to any trouble.
Nick: What day would suit you?
Gatsby: What day would suit you? . I don’t want to put you to any trouble, you see.
Nick: How about the day after tomorrow?
Gatsby: I want to get the grass cut. There’s another little thing.
Nick: Would you rather put it off for a few days?
Gatsby: Oh, it isn’t about that, at least ----. Why, I thought--- why, look here, old sport, you don’t make much money, do
you?
Nick: Not very Much.
Gatsby: I thought you didn’t, if you’ll pardon my- You see, I carry on a little business on the side, a sort of side line, you
understand. And I thought that if you don’t make very much- You’re selling bonds, aren’t you, old sport?
Nick: Trying to.
Gatsby: well, this would interest you. It wouldn’t take much of your time and you may might pick up a nice bit of money. It
happens to be a rather confidential sort of thing.
Nick: I’ve got my hands full. I’m much obliged but couldn’t take any more work.
Gatsby: You wouldn’t have to do any business with wolfsheim.
-----------------------------
Gatsby: is everything all right?
Nick: The grass looks fine, if that what you mean.
Gatsby: What grass? Oh the grass in the yard. Looks very good. One of the papers said they thought the rain would stop
about four.
Nick: Will they do?
Gatsby: of course, of course! They’re fine! …… old sport
Nick: Why’s that?
Gatsby: Nobody’s coming to tea. It’s too late!
Nick: Don’t be silly; it’s just two minutes before four.
Daisy: Is this absolutely where you live, my dearest one? …Are you in love with me?... or why did I have to come alone?
Nick: That’s the secret of Castle Rackrent. Tell your chauffeur to go far away and spend an hour.
Daisy: Come back in an hour, Ferdie. His name is Fredie.
Nick: Does the gasoline affect his nose?
Daisy: I don’t think so. Why?
Nick: Well that’s funny.
Daisy: What’s funny?
Daisy: I certainly am awful glad to see you again.
Gatsby: We’ve met before. I’m sorry about the clock.
Nick: It’s an old clock.
Daisy: We haven’t met for many years.
Gatsby: Five years, next November.
Gatsby: where are you going?
Nick: I’ll be back.
Gatsby: I’ve got to speak to you about something before you go. Oh, God!
Nick: what’s the matter?
Gatsby: this is a terrible mistake, a terrible, terrible mistake.
Nick: and Daisy’s embarrassed too.
Gatsby: She embarrassed?
Nick: Just as much as you are.
Gatsby: Don’t talk so loud.
Nick: You’re acting like a little boy. Not only that. But you’re rude. Daisy’s sitting in their all alone.
--------------------------
Gatsby: Oh, hello, old sport.
Nick: It’s stopped raining.
Gatsby: has it?
Nick: What do you think of that? It’s stopped raining.
Daisy: I’m glad, Jay.
Gatsby: I want you and Daisy come over to my house. I’d to show her around.
Nick: You sure you want me to come?
Gatsby: Absolutely, old sport.
Gatsby: My house looks well doesn’t it? See how the whole front of it catches the light. It took me just three years to to
earn the money that bought it.
Nick: I thought you inherited your money.
Gatsby: I did, old sport, but I lost most of it in the big panic ------ the panic of the war. That’s my affair. Oh, I’ve been in
several things. I was in in the drug business and then I was in the oil business. But I’m not in either one now.
Daisy: That huge place there?
Gatsby: Do you like it?
Daisy: I love it, but I don’t see how you live there all alone.
Gatsby: I keep it always full of interesting people, night and day. People who do interesting things. Celebrated people.
Gatsby: It’s the funniest thing old sport. I can’t – when I try to ---
Daisy: I’ve got a man in England who buys me clothes. He sends over a selection of things that at the beginning of oech
season, spring and fall. They’re such beautiful shirts. It makes me sad because I’ve never seen such – such beautiful shirts
before.
Gatsby: If it wasn’t for the mist we could see your home across the bay. You always have a green light that burns all night
at the end of your dock.
Nick: Who’s this?
Gatsby: He’s dead now. That’s Mr. Dan Cody, old sport.
Gatsby: look at this Daisy, here’s a lot of clippings about you.
Daisy: Come here quick! Look at that. I’d like to just get one of those pink clouds and put you in it and push you around.
Gatsby: i know what we’ll do, we’ll have Klipspringer play the piano. Ewing!
Daisy: Did we interrupt your exercises?
Mr. Klipspringer: I was asleep. That is, I’d been asleep. Then I got up …
Gatsby: Klipspringer plays the piano.
Mr. Klipspringer: I don’t play well. I don’t – I hardly play at all. Im all out of pra---Gatsby: we’ll go downstairs
Mr. Klipspringer: I’m all out of practice. I told you I couldn’t play. I’m all out of prac--Gatsby: Don’t talk so much, old sport. Play!
