When The Great Gatsby appeared in 1925, it was hailed by T.S. Eliot as the first step forward in American fiction since Henry James, and the intervening years have brought little to make that judgment seem extravagant. This program offers a searching examination of Scott Fitzgerald’s fable. It reveals Jay Gatsby as the tragic last mask of the mythic figure of the Noble Fool, the victim not of a private fantasy but of a public faith. The DVD includes a printable teacher guide. 21 minutes. Grades 6-12.
