Psychoanalytic reading of The Great Gatsby

2 days ago 5

I’m in Year 11, doing literature and not looking for assignment help really, just your opinion. We’ve been told to write notes about the history of a reading and how it is applied to a text we have studied, and I’m choosing TGG of course.

We have done feminist and marxist readings in class, but they put in psychoanalytic reading as an example, and I’ve been researching it and it sounds pretty cool.

I’m wondering if it won’t be too hard to get my head around, and write about in an essay? I was thinking it could be applied to Nick, Gatsby and Tom.

I could always just do a feminist reading but I want to go out of my comfort zone if I can- and I am really intrigued by this.
