The Great Gatsby Blog 7

One of the books I read over the summer was The Great Gatsby. In the novel Fitzgerald revolved around the main symbolic idea of deception in a society. I believe the author is arguing about the general effects of deception  among people because he uses his characters to show an overview of a typical corrupt society. Gatsby is desperate for his true love, while his true love seeks attention and security. In coalescence, this creates a web of lies that conclude the death of Gatsby. Fitzgerald argues to convince his readers that the deceit of others will return misfortune.
