The Great Gasby and The Tempest?

Question

Does the Novel "the Great Gatsby" and "the tempest" both have biblical allusions, if so could you compare both novels with the biblical allusions?

Answer 1

Of course, I've answered your other similar question elsewhere.

Even with this question heed what I said:


Focus along the following lines of thought and make your own comparisons.

Gastby - read chapter 2

Nick describes his journey back to the West Egg from Daisy and Tom's Home...A worthy mention is our introduction to the advertisement billboard of Dr. T. J. Eckleburg and it's imposing eyes which "brood over the solemn dumping ground." Upon this "ash road" lives Tom Buchanan's mistress...Myrtyle. Myrtyle and her husband live at her husbands place of work...a mechanic's garage.....Tom Buchanan previously made great efforts to get Nick to "see his girl." Wilson is interested in purchasing Toms car....There home is rather drab and does not seem to be fitting to a person as extravagant as Myrtyle...Myrtyle even dresses extravengently in her "home." Myrtlye is a dashing person with noticeable features of which include her partyish clothes and demeanor.She totally ignores her husband,Wilson, upon here meeting with Tom and Nick and walks directly towards Tom in greeting


The Tempest - read about Prospero in terms of the themes of reconciliation and forgiveness:

Prospero is a character that seems to stand at the very centre of The Tempest. Throughout the play, he prompts most of the action, and he has the last word.
The entire plot of the play is a scheme designed by Prospero to bring his rivals to a state of regret so that he can pardon them and restore the rightful order of things to his dukedom of Milan. As Prospero is seen as being all-powerful over the island, he could easily destroy or punish his enemies by any method or means. However, he chooses not to and brings the past conspirators face-to- face with the sins of their past, which causes them to be repentant. In a god-like way, Prospero forgives each of them, allowing them to live and return to Italy.



Good luck
