Fitzgerald presents the problem of abundance in American culture in the city by showing that the more we have, the less things make sense or bring happiness.

<h3>Fitzgerald and the problem of abundance</h3>

In his famous novel "The Great Gatsby," among the many criticisms Fitzgerald delineates there is the criticism concerning excess. According to the author, the seemingly endless abundance in American culture in the city does not bring much of a benefit to people's lives.

The narrator describes those who live in such a fast-paced, alcohol-filled and party-stricken environment as "hard and languid at twenty-one." He also mentions that nothing seems to impress them anymore, as if they have lost their capacity to see novelty with wonder.

Therefore, Fitzgerald criticizes the abundance or excess culture as something that numbs people.

How did the hollywood killer murder his victims?
agasfer [191]
If by Hollywood Killer you're referring to DD Clark and Carol M. Bundy then they would lure prostitutes and young teenage girls to have sexual intercourse and shoot them shortly after. Some he decapitated and some he would procede to having sexual intercourse even after they were dead (necrophilia). He would dispose of the bodies out in the open.
