It came a dream vacations of French monarchs to res the territories of ancient Gaul and make Rhine what it had been, a natural bound This dream vacations was realized by Napoleon in 1 but the Congress of Vienna, in 1815, resti former limits.The Great Gatsby is most frequently interpreted as a story of the "American dream vacations." Near the end of the novel Gatsby awaits a call from Daisy that never comes, but he dies an incurable romantic, clinging still to an ideal conception of his beloved, which she is incapable of fulfilling in reality. Nick, who in some ways serves as Gatsby's double, is left with the bitter knowledge that the dream vacations of getting ahead and winning the perfect girl is corrupt from the start.
Unlike his romantic stories, Gogol's St. Petersburg stories, such as The Portrait and Nevsky Prospect (from Arabesques) and his most celebrated story, The Overcoat (from the 4-volume Collected Works, 1842), set artistic, erotic, dream vacationslike themes against the background of the dynamic capital city. They emphasized the "disharmony between dream vacations and reality," in the words of Piskarev in Nevsky Prospect, and underlined the conflict between what ought to be and what is. |
