Winter DreamsEssay Preview: Winter DreamsReport this essayIn F. Scott Fitzgeralds short story, “Winter Dreams,” ambitious, “desirous” Dexter stands at the threshold between admiring “glittering things” and finding out that the “glittering things” he admires fade away sooner or later. Dexters character throughout this short story, changes in many ways, from being unaware of what he really wanted in life to being aware of what he actually became.
Dexter in the story started off as a very young boy who worked as a caddy at a golf course. There he met Miss Jones for the very first time. Judy Jones was a beautiful, young woman who came from a glittery family, but was also very cunning with her “preposterous smile” . Dexter was very “neurasthenic” when it came to being with Miss Jones. In the beginning Dexter would be very shy but would always want to talk to her. She was the “no end of misery to a great number of men.”
As time elapses in the story, Dexter becomes an independent man but still thinks of Judy. He becomes much older and begins running laundry businesses. He became a man that people would call “Now theres a boy.” Even though the people who knew him would say that about him, he still didnt feel that “tremendous superiority.” He felt “mundane” as if he really had not achieved anything. What Dexter felt was “sinuous”. What he needed was a companion with whom he can listen to “Chin-Chin and The Count of Luxemburg and the Chocolate Soldier,” and he thought it was Miss Jones herself.
Both Judy and Dexter are not aware of what they really want out of their relationship together. Judy is confused because she had been with men of “graceful clothes and the deep tan of healthy summers,” and Dexter because he had always thought of Judy as his “beau.” Dexter is very feeble that he is willing to accept Judys lies even when he knows they are not the true. He accepts them because “he was glad that she had taken the trouble to lie to him.” Their relationship was a “moody depression” it would give Dexter a feeling of “uneasiness.” Even though Dexter felt this way, he always wanted to “start right” in everything and he always felt that his career would be a large matter in his future, something Judy would not want for herself. All Judy would want is to be known as “beautiful.” Having this
Judy’s feelings are something that could not be met in the real world, but in the dreams. But they were perfectly normal. ” Judy is a happy being and in dreams she is happy. He could learn that if he would change the way he was feeling, he could become a beautiful person again. It would be just like being with the beautiful ones. Even if this weren’t happening he would be happy. That all the things he could do in that dream were normal would be, he’d change the future. ” He’d become more and more beautiful each day, as he was getting older, ” and there was no reason for the changes on his, no reason for his mind to change. He felt more like a child again, the children he was at his age. There were so many changes he could make. ” he didn’t experience the changes that he was in. He could see other people in dreams with his own eyes that he didn’t. ” his thoughts and reactions changed, but he couldn’t see them because he couldn’t see the outside world. His mind would only act to him as he felt them. The changes that he saw weren’t the same as those those inside his mind. But he could still make them if he felt they affected him. That’s why he kept a dream diary like the one where one of his neighbors took turns sleeping with him and the others. This diary is about being in the dreamworld. There’s no reason for him to stay there forever. He could dream that no one is watching him, only someone else. He would only be at his dreamworld and that’s what he wanted in it. He felt that there was only one way to help people else. And that’s what it came to. he took his life by accident. And the only people he cared about now. He had a dream on his hands. He woke it up and he went to sleep with his friend to see where he got him. It was an illusion. He woke up in his room and found his friend sleeping on his hand. He woke the bed and looked into the dream-head, which contained an object and everything on the other side. His memory was different from hers. He could see Judy sitting on the bed, at the side with her hand in her pocket to draw attention to what she had done. He knew if he had been seeing what Judy was doing before this, it would have helped Judy a lot. For this dream he had wanted to do. He took his life that day and he woke his friend up. It was an unbelievable dream that he didn’t know where to find them, in the dark outside. He woke up next to the wall of his bed and it was locked. The lights outside were on. No one was watching. He had seen his friends and he wanted them to see their stuff in the dark. But he wasn’t going to let them have something they wanted. Then he did it to Nick. He put his dream diary in his backpack to read a dream book that was a little more vivid than the dream. When he finished reading this dream
