Charlemagne, the son of Pepin the Short and Bertrada, was born in 742. Although his parents married before his brother Carloman was born, they were not legally married at the time of Charlemagne's birth, and he was thus thought to be illegitimate (born out of wedlock).
The Great Gatsby. Theme. The overall theme of âThe Great Gatsbyâ is the American dream. Originally, the American dream was supposed to be the pursuit of happiness and the love between a man and a woman. During the story, the American dream is corrupted by the selfish pleasures of the men and women in the story.
She symbolizes the American Dream. In The Great Gatsby the southern belle Daisy Fay, the first nice girl James Gatz had ever known, is the bright symbol of Gatsby's dreams. Beautiful and rich, she is the incarnation of all his elaborate fantasies, his vision of the American Dream. --Richard W. Lid, Ford Madox Ford: The Essence of His Art, 1964.
