"'I read
somewhere that
the sun's getting hotter every year,' said Tom genially.
... 'or wait a minute - it's just the opposite - the sun's getting
colder every year'."
The Great Gatsby
22才の主人公が、ロングアイランドに移り住むところから始まる物語に惹かれて、
フィッツジェラルドの「偉大なるギャッツビー」読んだ。
どうしてギャッツビーは偉大なのか、疑問を抱きながら読み進んだ。
最後のページを読み終えて、
今少し分かった気がする。
Attracted by the
introductory of the story - a 22 year-old protagonist
moving into Long Island -
read F. Scott Fitzgerald's
'Great Gatsby'.
Throughout the story, I was
wondering what was so 'great' about Gatsby.
Having just read the last
page,
I somewhat understood it
now.
