Question

What is the central idea of chapters 4 through six of the great Gatsby

Answer 1

Answer:

The main themes of The Great Gatsby include the American Dream, money, and death. The American Dream: Fitzgerald chronicles the death of the American Dream in this novel. JayGatsby personifies the American Dream, being a self-made man who pulled himself out of poverty.

Acutely aware of his poverty, the young Gatsby develops a powerful obsession with amassing wealth and status. Gatsby's act of rechristening himself symbolizes his desire to jettison his lower-class identity and recast himself as the wealthy man he envisions.
