In The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald used the beauty of words to demonstrate how far people will go in hopes of pursuing the American dream. This extraordinary classic also exposes the story of a man of troubled love and passion for possessions both tangible and abstract in a world of riches. Baz Lurhmann amazingly interpreted Fitzgerald's composition through film productions. However, due to modernization, the 2013 film “The Great Gatsby” diverged from Fitzgerald's work in some places; resulting in an arguably interesting comparison between the two mediums. In Fitzgerald's novel, his view of Daisy and Gatsby's relationship was strikingly at odds with the portrayal of his character in Luhrmann's film. Fitzgerald's In contrast, Lurhmann's film makes the audience perceive Gatsby as a dreamy and immensely romantic individual. In the film, him. In the novel, they posed as characters with a little spark in their friendship; otherwise referred to as lust. Furthermore, there were actually times in the novel when Nick “no longer thought of Daisy and Gatsby, but of this clean, hard, limited person, who dealt in universal skepticism” (Fitzgerald 79). This connection in Fitzgerald's writing exposed their characters even more to its purest form, emphasizing the natural human emotions they encountered. In the film, however, Nick and Jordan were simply acquaintances of mutual friends. This allowed viewers to have little insight into how “inconsiderate” Nick was and how “incurably dishonest” Jordan was in the novel (Fitzgerald 58). Without their own side story, the viewer's perception of their personalities is skewed. Instead, Nick and Jordan only served as supporting roles to shed light on Gatsby and Daisy's on-screen romance. This specific framing strategy by Lurhmann highlights Gatsby's imperative character development, providing Leonardo Dicaprio with the platform to appear as a skilled and effective man.
