The Great Gatsby Conflicts

There is no relationship without a conflict. Each relationship is unique and their conflicts would varies from one to another. This essay will examine the different causes, consequences and see whether the conflicts are resolved through analyzing Extremely loud and incredibly close, Othello, The Social Network and The Great Gatsby.
