paragraph1: work 3

According to Fitzgerald's, The Great Gatsby, the common reader may claim that the rich characters in the book are living the dream, but in reality, they are living in a dream world. Their dream world seems to be marvelous and undetermined up until the the storyline becomes predictable; almost as if the reader has seen the material before. Possibly this could represent possible archetypes of fairy tales in the book. These possible allusions and references are especially prevalent when Gatsby has to leave Daisy to go off to war, thus shattering their relationship. When the army man returns, he finds that she has fallen for another and he is left longing for her for years to come. Once the couple finally unite, its as though his world is whole once again. This is one of the most overused plot lines in the book; found in any Prince Charming movie where some important person must leave, wrenching the partners heart out. What are the chances of actually reuniting with that one person in the entire world, and them wanting you back too? This obviously proves that this would only happen in a dream/fantasy life. Another influencial person, much like Robin from Robin Hood, Jay Gatsby has grown up poor and has fallen for the beautiful and RICH woman in the book. When he is younger he DREAMS of Daisy and aspires to become rich to impress her and have her to himself. If he wants to do this, he figures the only way is to get a job and become rich too. Robin (Gatsby) was the little peasant hooligan of the town that falls for Maiden Marian, (Daisy), who is the fair laden that captures the hearts of many. To stand out from any of the others, both Robin and Gatsby must impress their lady. 'Ironically', both men both deal with money; Robin takes the peasent's money back from the king and returns it to them, while Gatsby must be the "tax collector" with his lucrative business. Once they reunite, it seems as though nothing can go wrong. This also happens in fairy tales. The couple becomes so oblivious, that they think they are invinsible, and that they will never part, until an incredible force of nature crashes apon them and they are ripped apart. This is much like Romeo and Juliet, when the families find out about their secret affair, they are told to separate and to never see each other again. This event corrilates to the big fight with Tom, Daisy's husband, and Gatsby at the Plaza Hotel. The crew are all around and a big fiasco starts where both men are arguing over how much Daisy loves them, until Daisy picks her poison and the fight "resolves". This also can corrilate to the Prince (Gatsby) fighting of the dragon, Tom, to get and rescue the princess at the top of the tower, like in Sleeping Beauty and Shrek. On the ride home, an accident shakes the foundation of whatever Gatsby and Daisy had. One can presume that the accidental death of Myrtle, Tom's secret affairess, could not have randomly happened. For one, Myrtle's husband, Wilson, found out about Tom and was going to take her far, far, away, (Shrek). Myrtle somehow ESCAPES the trap, like Cinderella out of her stepmother's locked broom closet/attic?... and runs out into the street, hoping to flag down her Prince Charming, Tom, riding in on his mystical and noble steed, the elaborate yellow town car that she saw Tom first driving while peering out and beyond from the high tower of the locked office upstairs of Wilson's business, and save the day. Unfortunatley, she is completely sideswept away and instantly killed by the driver, Daisy. This must be a predestined event to wipe any competion away from the love triangle(s). As Daisy and Gatsby return home, he waits up for her at her window like Romeo did for Juliet.
