In both “A Rose for Emily” and The Great Gatsby, the main characters both seem to be stuck in the past. How does their inability to move on with their lives affect the story (plot, characters, conflict, etc.) and its outcome? In a comparative essay of 2-3 paragraphs, compare and contrast the degree to which each character is stuck in the past. What impact does this have on the events of the present? Cite at least one piece of evidence from each text to support your ideas.
