The Great Gatsby Classic Analysis
One of the reasons this book is considered a classic is because readers relate to it. Gatsby wasn't alone in his quest to bring back the past, hundreds of other people felt, feel, the same way. The past tends to kill many, people are always left wishing they could run back and alter their past. Maybe they did something they regret, maybe they didn't do something and now they regret it or possibly like in Gatsby's case something they never pictured losing, vanished. Nevertheless, watching Gatsby run full force at what he used to have makes others feel a little less crazy for feeling the same way. Everyone's haunted by the past, most of us just aren’t delusional enough to turn around.
