Book Reviews of The Great Gatsby
Book Review: The ultimate privileges of the rich
Summary: 5 Stars
In a world where a football star can commit murder and get away with it,
and a family of rich and famous politicians can trash those who stand in
the way of reelection, Fitzgerald could never have been more correct. When
he wrote in "Gatsby" that the rich are different, he seems to have had some
sort of prophetic genuis. They certainly are different. The way in which Tom
and Daisy were able to leave their problems behind is not so dissimilar to
the kind of privilege which is flaunted by those who abuse such privilege
today. I can't help but feel that even Fitzgerald could never have
imagined the depth of arrogance which our rich and infamous have reached
today.
