Wanted, Wanted Posters.

Emily dug up these wanted posters, which pinpoint key traits of characters that appear in The Great Gatsby.


















































































































































Wanted posters for the main characters seemed a fitting idea, as all in the book had either major character flaws or actually broken the law. This medium gave me the chance to bring to the surface both the inexcusable actions and flaws of each character in a direct attack on their idiosyncrasies and representation of the excess of the 1920's. The amount of the reward represents their impact on the tragedy of the story and not on their relative quantity of evil. The section warning the police on each gave me an extra chance to list traits that are not necessarily negative, but contribute to the character's downfall. Finally, the man who placed the bounty on all of them carries a clear symbolism.
