The Great Gatsby
By F. Scott Fitzgerald
“Anything can happen now…anything at all (Page 69).” This simple phrase has powerful meaning both
in the sense of what it foreshadows and what promises lay ahead. In this
section, the reader learns of Gatsby’s past, but mystery still surrounds him as
the reader is guided to question if the story is true. With such questioning and mystery still
present, anything can happen. The plot can take any twist and the characters
can turn in any direction. It is unclear as to what Gatsby wishes to discuss
with Nick and who Gatsby truly is. This mystery becomes a prevalent and major attribute
to both the plot of the story and the style in which it is told. For, it is the
mystery of Gatsby’s Greatness and who he really is that the story is even told
and becomes important. In this one simple phrase, the book takes an
irreversible turn.
