Finally finished The Great Gatsby tonight. It was definitely "profound," although it would have been better if I understood more of what was being said. "So we beat on, boats again the current, born, borne back ceaselessly into the past." What's that supposed to mean? Is the narrator saying that 'we' are like the first Dutch sailors to find the island of West Egg? I'm confused. | |
