Gatsby + John Green = Love

Jan 12

Posted by

I’m not done with my discussion of The Great Gatsby just yet (if you haven’t already, check out my review from Thursday). While poking around the internet for Gatsby love, I happened upon this video by the one and only John Green. It’s one of his regular Vlogbrothers videos from last fall (just a few weeks before my epic school night road trip to see him speak in Asheville). In this video, he offers his analysis of some of the big metaphors in the novel, mainly the valley of ashes. If you’ve ever read or loved Fitzgerald, you need to watch this video. So happy Saturday, y’all. Enjoy.

    Thanks so much for sharing! A mix of two of my great literary loves: Gatsby and John Green.

    A classic novel I was recently acquainted with as I taught this text to my grade 11 students last semester.
