Abstract: In the essay "Different Themes Rendered with Similar Approaches — A Comparison between The Sun Also Rises and The Great Gatsby," the author examines thematic similarities between Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises and Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, highlighting the decadence, disillusionment, corruption, and failure of the 1920s (Shen). This essay provides valuable background for understanding the Lost Generation's literary history and societal context. However, using Harold Aram Veeser's New Historicism framework, our study narrows the focus to fickle relationships and chronic dissatisfaction in the post-WWI generation. By comparing The Sun Also Rises and The Great Gatsby, alongside The Sound and The Fury and works by T.S. Eliot, our research explores how unstable relationships reflect the broader existential crises of the era.
