Plot:
Nick Carraway moves to New York with the hopes of becoming a bonds salesman and finds himself living next to party enthusiast, Jay Gatsby.
Theme:
I believe the theme of the book is the lie of the American dream which states to be happy you need a good house and enough money to love by. As depicted in the novel, Gatsby has both of these things and yet lives in an illusion of happiness. His happiness can only be achieved by being with Daisy which is impossible.

Literature Analysis #4: The Crucible
Plot:
The story takes place during the Salem Witch Trials. It follows the events that occur in a small town as various townsfolk are accused of witchcraft, primarily John Proctor as he is framed by Abigail Williams due to his refusal to continue his affair with her.
Theme:
I believe the main theme to this story other than the obvious one of deceit is the fear of the unknown. The villagers don't what sort of harm witchcraft can do and instantly fear it and anything that could be related to it. Therefore, a chain of events unfolds leading to the deaths of many innocents.
