The Sonoran Desert route was his favorite. His friends were surprised he could endure the solitude of it, but he cherished the b

arren miles. Today he’d passed a mile of verbena in full bloom, followed by ten miles with nothing but sagebrush. The next leg promised cliffs, and he loved to imagine scaling them as he traversed the desolate highway. In fact, one was rising in the distance, and the highway would bear right around it. He looked down to cool the temperature, looked up again, and stared. The grill of a tractor trailer, in his lane, was bearing down upon him. How does the excerpt exemplify the ideas King describes in "Danse Macabre"?

explain the difference between what gatsby appears to be on the outside and what he really is on the inside
Lana71 [14]

Answer and Explanation:

Jay Gatsby is the main character of the novel "The Great Gatsby", by American author F. Scott Fitzgerald. When the narrator, Nick, first hears of him, Gatsby is but a name, faceless, connected to grand parties and wealth.

On the outside, Gatsby has an almost flawless appearance. He dresses finely and modernly. He lives in a castle, surrounded by servants. He drives a fancy car, and knows influential people. He always, as Daisy describes him, "looks cool". He says he is an Oxford man, the inheritor of a big fortune, a world traveler. He is good-looking, well-spoken - a "true" gentleman. Gatsby gives the impression of being secure, of knowing his place in the world. He seems to have life figured out.

But there is a reason why Gatsby is only "almost" flawless. On the inside, he is none of the things described above. Even though he is a good man with grand dreams, he is insecure. Born in extreme poverty, Gatsby thinks wealth will solve all his self-esteem issues. He is afraid people will see through the façade he has built, see the true Gatsby: an uneducated man whose fortune comes from selling illegal alcohol. On the inside, Gatsby is far from being a gentleman or from being cool. He is scared, tense, eager, almost desperate. He wants to be seen, but he also fears it tremendously.
