(Burn)After reading... Eliot

After reading p.39-49 of Critical Theory Today By Louis Tyson my new view of The Great Gatsby hasn’t changed much. This is because a lot of the information in the reading is what I would consider to be rather obvious: ex. Daisy being ‘used’ to Toms infidelity. The other parts such, as Daisy being with Tom due to her crippling low self-esteem, to me seems to be well wrong. Also Tyson seems wrong when Tyson says that daisy has a superficial relationship with her child. From the excerpt she provides it is possible to se where her opinion is coming from however it looks more like every other adult fawning over their baby. Tyson seems to be trying to add significance when there is none and then she adds extra significance to what seem; fairly obvious observations.
