(7) Notes on Text-To-Text Connections

Although Romeo and Juliet and The Great Gatsby have two different plots and themes I immediately thought of how both books involve teen romance in one way or another. Similarly to how Romeo and Juliet couldn’t be together because of their families Gatsby and Daisy couldn’t be together because she was married and divorce was very looked down upon during the 1920’s. 


The Great Gatsby can be connected to 12 Angry Men by the similar attitudes between Juror #12 and Daisy. Juror #12 was extremely egocentric - extremely self absorbed similar to Daisy.
