Answer:
We could say that Gatsby created a picture of himself is an Oxford man.
One of the best evidences which determines Gatsby an Oxford man is a description from the book which refers to Jay Gatsby.
<em>"About Gatsby! No, I haven't. I said I'd been making a small investigation of his past."
</em>
<em>
"And you found he was an Oxford man," said Jordan helpfully.
</em>
<em>
"An Oxford man!" He was incredulous. "Like hell he is! He wears a pink suit.</em>
However, he isn't really an Oxford man. He tries to represent him like that in order to impress Daisy Buchanan and renew his relationship with her. With this status, he tries to include himself as a part of elite society, so that the members of the society could accept him as a rich intellectual. His attempts to be an Oxford man aren't convincing enough, so, despite all his efforts, we couldn't say he is a real example of an Oxford man.
Answer:
Seen against the background of the millennia, the fall of the Roman Empire was so commonplace an event that it is almost surprising that so much ink has been spilled in the attempt to explain it. The Visigoths were merely one among the peoples who had been dislodged from the steppe in the usual fashion. They and others, unable to crack the defenses of Sasanian Persia or of the Roman Empire in the East (though it was a near thing), probed farther west and at length found the point of weakness they were seeking on the Alps and the Rhine. The complicated political relationship existing between France and England in the first half of the 14th century ultimately derived from the position of William the Conqueror, the first sovereign ruler of England who also held fiefs on the continent of Europe as a vassal of the French king. The natural alarm caused to the Capetian kings by their overmighty vassals, the dukes of Normandy, who were also kings of England, was greatly increased in the 1150s. Henry Plantagenet, already duke of Normandy (1150) and count of Anjou (1151), became not only duke of Aquitaine in 1152—by right of his wife, Eleanor of Aquitaine, recently divorced from Louis VII of France—but also king of England, as Henry II, in 1154. A fresh complication was introduced when Charles IV died on February 1, 1328, leaving no male heir. Since there existed at that time no definitive rule about the succession to the French crown in such circumstances, it was left to an assembly of magnates to decide who ought to be the new king. The two principal claimants were Edward III of England, who derived his claim through his mother, Isabella, sister of Charles IV, and Philip, count of Valois, son of Philip IV’s brother Charles.
