I can’t help what’s past.’ She began to sob helplessly. ‘I did love him once — but I loved you too.’” (140) Gatsby expects that Daisy will be happy to leave Tom behind and break off her marriage with him. Gatsby's dream has been to build a fortune and reclaim the love that he once lost because, as he sees it, he was too poor for Daisy when they first met. This proves my claim because this displays, in Daisy’s words, that Gatsby did expect too much, he expected for her to make a big deal in front of Tom. This proves my thesis because we can see that he expects a lot of Daisy.

At the same time, this act shows the literal fire rising in the balloon and the metaphorical idea of things becoming too much, building up to the point of destruction. The idea of the wall of fire may be significant in that it stands for looming downfall, or having feelings, emotions, or conflicts pile up inside of a person to the point of breaking. He turns his dream into a reality by taking off in the hot air
It intensifies so much that Gabriel admits he’s restraining himself from his urge to “crush her body against his, [and] overmaster her. (177)” As he reminisces on his earlier wild, passionate, secret love life with his wife (173-7), it becomes apparent that those memories and the possibility of rekindling such intensity are anchors to Gabriel’s sense of fulfillment and freedom. When his wife tells him of her past love, and how she may still love him (178), Gabriel’s anchors are shattered.

Gatsby ended up dead at the end.

Things do not improve for him; instead he faces greater difficulties ending up “lying ill of fever…” (P.320).In the 1880’s migration to Brazil boomed; Hardy needed Angel to leave
Commentary by Cervantes is both biting and affectionate, but ultimately a criticism of idealism. Quixotism, a word derived from Don Quixote, is defined as the impractical pursuit of ideals. Quixote was once a gentleman from La Mancha, but books of chivalry have corrupted his mind, making him temporarily mad. In the book Don Quixote, Quixote’s misadventures are described in detail. One of the first indicators of the depth of Quixote’s madness is his attempt to fight a field of windmills he mistakes for giants, declaring, “Do you see over yonder my friend Sancho Panza, thirty or more huge giants?” (Cervantes 36).
