-In the novel The Great Gatsby, Jay Gatsby shares similar traits however; he contradicts the actions of Rabo Karabekian in many ways. Fitzgerald illustrates Gatsby as a social loveable man, who throws extraordinary parties. Nevertheless, Rabo is depicted as the opposite of Gatsby. He lives in a disclosed house and avoids confrontation from others. Rabo lived an honest and childish life, while Gatsby lived a life of mischief and lies. A similarity which both Rabo and Gatsby share is that they both grew up from poverty. In addition, they both fought in WWII, but neither shares much information on the adventures which took place during war. Nonetheless, the end of Fitzgerald novel The Great Gatsby contradicted Kurt Vonnegut’s theme Bluebeard. In the conclusion of the novel The Great Gatsby, Gatsby was murdered and Carraway mentions that the faith of the American dream is a myth. He believed that we as Americans can keep paddling are boats toward the light, but we will never reach it. However, Vonnegut ending of Bluebeard had a happy ending in away. Rabo finally found peace within himself and was able accept his meat as a part of his soul. He mentions that he was reborn from the help of Ms. Berman and now he has finally achieved the American dream. The Great Gatsby and Bluebeard are perfect examples of how each book depicts the American dream as a myth and a reality.

- The novel Bluebeard and Death of a Salesman accurately illustrates the failing American family. The Loman’s are emphasized as the modern American family that failed at achieving happiness. Rabo’s family coincided perfectly as his kids hated him, as Biff and Happy hated their father Willy. Both families viewed there father as a failure, since they both failed at achieving the American dream. In addition, both families were formed out of lies and deception rather than love and relationships. The faith which both families took, were also similar. Willy committed suicide and left the dying family to his kids and his wife, while Dorothy and the kids left Rabo for good. Both families were forced to accept reality without a father and to take on a new lifestyle.
