The Great Gatsby (Video)

Whether or not you actually think Gatsby is great, this video course will fill you in on why the rest of the world does.

You'll watch a series of videos—a conversation between experts—and then answer some questions to prove your wits. Over the course of 17 lessons, you'll dig deep into this classic American novel.

• You'll flash back to the Roaring '20s in all its materialistic, class-inequality, Prohibition glory.
• You'll be introduced to all the characters and their idiosyncrasies, a.k.a. "the inexhaustible variety of life."
• You'll think about symbols, characterization, and point-of-view (oh my!).
• You'll tackle all the themes of the novel...many of which Fitzgerald hits us over the head with.
• You'll take a good, hard look at the American Dream and what it meant to the characters in the book.

Once you finish, you'll know more about The Great Gatsby than Nick himself.

Here's a sneak peek at a video from the course. BYOP (bring your own popcorn).
