Today in class we continued to discuss the important distinction between romanticism and modernistic views. Rivers emphasized that this lesson specifically is important because we will soon be having a summative discussing these differences about The Great Gatsby once everyone completes their reading. We discussed specifically romantic and modernist tragedies and downfalls. Romantic tragedies include noble class born men and absolute destruction, while a more modern tragedy would be a common person with a partial destruction of life or an area within it. We were attempting to decide which of these downfalls occurred in The Great Gatsby and to whom. We ended up deciding that Tom had a romantic downfall or tragedy because of his noble status, however he has a modern tragedy because it was not a complete destruction of life. To the contrary, Gatsby had a full destruction of life, but was not nobally born. With this we can conclude that they can intertwine and are not ultimate decisions. Overall, the classes objectives were to prepare for the notable distinctions of romanticism and modernism within Great Gatsby.
