He thinks they can repeat the past although they both obviously changed, have a different mindset and live in different circumstances. He clearly romanticizes and idealizes the situation and believes everything will work out as he wants it to. ]]> 2021-11-24 13:14:09 UTC https://padlet.com/anjagoecke/emsewcnjmftuu4yo/wish/1910573988 anjagoecke https://padlet.com/anjagoecke/emsewcnjmftuu4yo/wish/1910574516  he can‘t accept that people change and has high expectations which cannot become 100% true ]]> 2021-11-24 13:14:23 UTC https://padlet.com/anjagoecke/emsewcnjmftuu4yo/wish/1910574516 anjagoecke https://padlet.com/anjagoecke/emsewcnjmftuu4yo/wish/1913791636  As Gatsby grew up in a very modest way of living, realising his high aspirations without regarding significantly ethical ways of doing so, it is likely that he convinced himself that he is capable of doing anything. This sort of god-like self conception is what is bringing him to the belief that he can change the past to his will. It is also likely that that conception will be crushed in the course of the book. ]]> 2021-11-26 06:20:20 UTC https://padlet.com/anjagoecke/emsewcnjmftuu4yo/wish/1913791636 anjagoecke https://padlet.com/anjagoecke/emsewcnjmftuu4yo/wish/1913792220  Gatsby tries to comfort himself by telling himself lies, Nick is trying to pull Gatsby back into reality ]]> 2021-11-26 06:20:56 UTC https://padlet.com/anjagoecke/emsewcnjmftuu4yo/wish/1913792220
