The Great Gatsby: The Impact of Race and GenderF. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby (1922) involves some important social issues and anxieties, such as race and gender. Over the course of nine chapters, he uses his characters to convey a message about how the effects of power and inequality coincide with twentieth-century social norms. In the text, the characters are involved in a love triangle held together by deceit and greed; and furthermore, we have the perspective of an outsider, who ultimately finds himself entangled in an already messy situation. As you read, you would see that wearing a different face is the common nature of these characters. However, Fitzgerald channeled both theatrics and facts through Nick Carraway and playfully portrays that race and gender are important issues that need to be addressed because they could lead to hate crimes just like Gatsby's death. The fact that only a few attended his funeral just goes to show that ultimately you are alone, regardless of your wealth and skin color. Gatsby began his journey alone and ended it alone, with no one to love him except his father, whom he had abandoned for many years and who had suffered from racial profiling, which probably wasn't that inaccurate since it was involved in some shady situations. .
