The Great GatsbyEssay Preview: The Great GatsbyReport this essayIn The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, the past itself and losses that have occurred in the past, are often helped out by other events in the book. This supports the thesis of George W. Layng, where he says that, “Loss is redeemed through speech.” Layng gives three very good examples from throughout the book of how this is true. He compares Gatsby’s ability to recall his past with Nick’s inability to do so. He speaks of Daisy’s longing to return to the past but failure to do so and follow through on what Gatsby asks her to do, and he analyzes the ways that the characters note the passing of time throughout the book.
