I'm writing a character analysis from The Great Gatsby and I chose George Wilson; here goes the intro:
"In Francis Scott Fitzgerald’s 1925 novel, The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald renders the portrait of George Wilson, an emasculated peasant who signifies the adversity of the American working class and an innocence lost in a country corrupted by wealth. Wilson’s naïveté makes him both oblivious and passive. Although his wife’s adultery is apparent to those around him, George remains unaware of it until the very end. When he finally realizes what is occurring, he is misled by the wealthy Tom Buchanan, and by his own compliance/passivity, George blames the wrong man for his wife’s death. George Wilson’s stunted personality is evident in his struggle to make a living, his relationship with his wife, and ultimately in his death. "
Is it bad? I wasn't sure if it made sense to just me or what..any input, critique, help, suggestions, word choice?--I APPRECIATE ANYTHING YOU HAVE TO SAY!
