CUE THEME MUSIC

I think the theme of The Great Gatsby is that happiness is unattainable. For example, Gatsby is a millionaire with a big house and an expensive car, yet he isn't happy because he is focused on getting the girl of  his dreams. Tom Buchanan is married to Daisy and has a kid yet he isn't happy and decides to get a mistress. Also Myrtle is unhappy with her marriage because her husband isn't rich enough for her and decides to cheat on him with Tom Buchanan.

He does this by including that it was a misty evening in November. he also mentions he's "all alone in this world of 2053 A.D." He uses the simplest details to ensure this dark feeling to his story. When Bradbury includes "The street was silent and long and empty," he wants us to feel creeped out by the unknown and the silence.       This story uses the character as a way to show how technology has changed us. The character in his story is presumed to be unique and unli...
