Name 3 reasons why Gatsby is foolish

English
1 answer:
Snowcat [4.5K]3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

The first is that he does not understand the American class system and thinks that mere wealth will gain him acceptance into the old money circles exemplified by East Egg and the Buchanans. In his desire to be accepted into that society and in his inability to realize that he never will be, he is foolish.

charle [14.2K]

In The Canterbury Tales, pilgrims relate the stories on their way to the shrine of Thomas Becket in Canterbury-

In "The Pardoner's story", Chaucer openly ridicules religious practices of the time.

firstly, the Pardoner is a fraudster who doesn't even hide it. He brazenly talks about all of his techniques of tricking humans into paying him money. much like the Catholic Church itself (on the time), he capitalizes on people's private and maximum irrational fear of eternal dam.country, pardoning their sins in exchange for huge sums of cash. He does not even care if his customers are single mothers, widows, or other poor people. He contains round fake relics which he sells to people. most importantly, he doesn't hide it - and this is another crucial issue of church practices which Chaucer criticizes via his work.

The finest irony is that the Pardoner tells a tale with a moral that greed is the basis of all evil (as he repeats a couple of instances). His story is about three reckless hedonists who are looking for loss of life, most effective to find gold over which they'll fight every other and die. Chaucer uses this tale inside a story to satirize the church's hypocrisy.
