Journal 21 - Some Like It Hot and The
Great Gatsby Comparison/Contrast
Some
Like It Hot and The Great Gatsby
have many similarities and differences. First, Some Like It Hot is about love and romance and marriage. It is an
upbeat comedy with a bit of drama thrown in to excite the audience. In this
story the good guy prevails and the bad guy dies. The Great Gatsby, however, is a tragedy about crime and deceit. Unlike
Some Like It Hot, because of
misunderstandings and lies, the good guy dies and the bad goes on to live
happily.
Even though there are differences
there are many similarities as well. Both stories have a woman and a man who
fall in love who the reader wants to see together. Joe, Sugar, Daisy, and
Gatsby all have their partner that they found and want to be happy with. Even
though the stories are a tragedy and comedy love can always be found. Gatsby
and Spats are another pair of similar characters. They both conduct illegal
activity even though Gatsby is kinder and more civilized than Spats. Both Spats and Gatsby also end up with the
same fate; death. A good guy dies in The
Great Gatsby and the bad guy dies in Some
Like It Hot.
