Compare how the authors of texts you have studied present love and devotion Or jealousy and
guilt
She walks in beauty- devoted to her inner and outer beauty
Gatsby- devoted to the pursuit of daisy- who so list- devoted to the pursuit of his ‘hynde’
Sonnet- love and devotion through the everlasting nature of love
Lack of love and devotion- the scrutiny + tom and ‘sprees’
Love is presented as a complex additive in many literary works. Written during the Jazz Age, a period
of confusion and directionless wandering, The Great Gatsby presents love and devotion in many
forms. In the novel, love and devotion can be depicted through Gatsby’s devotion to ‘repeat the
past’ with his lover- his “silver- like idol.” The lack of love and devotion can also be presented within
Tom and Daisy’s relationship, in which Tom frequently goes on ‘sprees’ with another woman. Similar
To Gatsby, the speaker in Wyatt’s “Who So List To Hunt” is also devoted towards the pursuit of his
‘hynde.” Furthermore, much like Tom; our ‘supercilious’ agrononist, the speaker in Lovelace’s poem
also presents a lack of love and devotion towards his current love, as he states that he wishes to
‘examine other beauties.’
Through Gatsby and Daisy’s relationship, Fitzgerald is able to highlight the immense love and
devotion that Gatsby experiences towards the pursuit of Daisy. We learn that Gatsby’s love and
devotion towards obtaining his ‘silver- like idol’ seems to the epitome of his desires.
