This research paper: A 5 page essay that argues that Kate Chopin in The Awakening and F. Scott Fitzgerald in The Great Gatsby each create protagonists who are tragically doomed due to their idealism. Chopin's female protagonist Edna Pontellier's idealism concerns her expectations concerning her role as a woman in nineteenth century patriarchal culture. Edna cannot reconcile the reality of her life with her idealized vision of what she thinks life should be. Likewise, Jay Gatsby has an idealized perspective on reality. Putting his faith in the American Dream, which turns out to be an illusion, Gatsby can never fully achieves his vision of idealized love. No additional sources cited.
