Married Couples in F. Scott Fitzgerald s The Great Gatsby: The Wealthiest VS. The Poorest Kayoko MIYAUCHI This paper will clarify the images and views of married couples appearing in The Great Gatsby (1925), and examine the techniques employed, such as contrast, symbolism and recollective narration. The narrator, Nick Carraway s love affair proceeds simultaneously along with the affair between enormaously wealthy Gatsby and Daisy, and that between very rich Tom Buchanan, Daisy s husband, and Myrtle Wilson, wife of the very poor owner of a shabby garage. At the end, Myrtle is run over and killed by Daisy driving Gatsby s car. Saving Daisy s life at the sacrifice of his own, Gatsby is shot by George Wilson, who commits suicide. The story presents the epitome of the Jazz Age covering all phenomena featuring the prosperous and frenzied United States after World War I. By contrasting two couples of the wealthiest and the poorest classes, the author gets down to the disguise, immorality and friction hidden in the life of the upper class couple living a gorgeous life, and condemns them through the narration by Nick from the Midwest with his own values and moral senses. The distress, anger and criticism of the narrator, in fact, mirror those of the author himself. 152
