    The Great Gatsby - Theme Essay Outline


    Introduction
    Thesis: Loneliness is a result of isolating oneself through not only physical connections but also through
    emotional connections. This is especially true in Fitzgeralds The Great Gatsby through Gatsbys inability
    to make meaningful relationships, Daisys inability to commit to Tom or Gatsby, and Nicks naivety
    toward Gatsby.

    Body Paragraph #1
    Transition: To begin with,
    Topic Sentence: Gatsby presents loneliness not only through his physical separation from others, but
    also by his inability to build meaningful relationships with others.
    Quote #1: my eyes fell on Gatsby, standing alone on the marble steps and looking from one group to
    another with approving eyesWhen the Jazz History of the World was over girls were putting their
    heads on mens shoulders.,girls were swooning backward playfully into mens armsbut no one
    swooned backward on Gatsby and no French bob touched Gatsbys should and no signing quartets were
    formed with Gatsbys head for one link (54-55).
    Quote #2: As *Mr. Gatz, the minister, and Nick] started through the gate into the cemetery I heard a car
    stop and then the sound of someone splashing after usIt was the owl-eyed glasses (183).

    Body Paragraph #2
    Transition: Secondly,
    Topic Sentence: Daisys loneliness steams from her inability to commit to a relationship neither with
    Tom nor with Gatsby.
    Quote #1: Even alone I cant say I never loved Tom, she admitted in a pitiful voice, It wouldnt be
    true (140).
    Quote #2: They were careless people, Tom and Daisy they smashed up things and creatures and then
    retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together,
    and let other people clean up the mess they had made. (187-188).

    Body Paragraph #3
    Transition: Lastly,
    Topic Sentence: The narrator, Nick Carroway, exhibits loneliness through his instant willingness to
    become friends with those he does not trust nor know well.
    Quote #1: It made no difference to me. Dishonesty in a woman is a thing you never blame deeply I
    was casually sorry, and then I forgot (63).
    Quote #2: I wanted to get up and slap him on the back. I had one of those renewals of complete faith in
    him that I'd experienced before (136).

    Conclusion
    Restate Main Idea: In conclusion, The Great Gatsby presents the theme of loneliness not only through
    physical isolation, but also through a lack of meaningful relationships: Gatsbys, Daisys, and Nicks.
    Summary of Ideas: It is clear through these three characters that loneliness is a result of poor choices
    and ones inability to trust another.
