Which of these literary elements does F. scott fitzgerald rely upon most in the great Gatsby?
astra-53 [7]
The biggest Character Tool Fitzgerald uses with Jay Gatsby in The Great Gatsby is Speech. <span>Gatsby's effort to sound well-educated For the most part, characters in </span>The Great Gatsby<span> are well-educated. Their speech and dialogue reflect this education, which in turn reflects their wealth and social status. The narrator takes note, however, of Gatsby's affected speech, speech of "elaborate formalities" that borders on "absurd." It is clear to him that Gatsby must </span>practice<span> to sound educated and wealthy - he must practice at being a part of Daisy's world. The fact that Nick isn't fooled would suggest that others, too, are not so taken in by Jay's efforts. His transformation to a man of high society is incomplete at best, and failed at worst.
