- Description
- The movement of "Gatsby" was compared to that of TC by Nancy Hoffman in 1971. However, the differences are as significant as the similarities. Fitzgerald's story reflects different preoccupations, a different age. Chaucer created something poised and terrible and elegant. Fitzgerald produced a story of the 20's, something equivalent to his own Age of Confusion.
