Mr. Gat- I mean, Mr. George Remus...

Prohibition was an important part of the 1920s, and ultimately, even up to this moment. The book we read, The Great Gatsby, records this period of time and an observation of the generation and their mistake of estravagant indulgences. One of the main characters of the book, Jay Gatsby proves to have a strikingly similar personality with George Remus. Both hosted fantastic parties in a passive manner, were self-made (illegaly) men, and caused envy to those attending his parties. The difference between them is plentiful. George Remus, for one, was happily married.
