Shakespeare observed that the function of literature is to “hold a mirror up to nature.” E. M. Forster’s romantic novel, A Room With a View (1908), wittily mirrors the follies of the English upper class. By contrast, F. Scott Fitzgerald’s tragic novel, The Great Gatsby, harshly criticizes {reflects} a corrupt American society in the 1920’s, where money vanquishes morality and love. Through close reading and lively discussion, we will explore the relevance of these satirists' commentaries on our society today.
