Jazz Song Analysis

The entire spirit of the novel Great Gatsby is captured in the jazz song When You´re Smiling by Louis Armstrong. All the merrymaking that Jay Gatsby does during the novel is destined to catch Daisy´s attention. He really loves her and he is passionate about her. The Green Light that Gatsby stares at, in one of the book´s early chapters, represents his love for Daisy and his obsession about her.

In the same way, Louis Armstrong transmits a strong feeling of love through this song. The song says that when she smiles the whole world smiles with her and that is exactly what Jay Gatsby feels for Daisy. When she smiles he even forgets that Nick is around.

Therefore, Louis Armstrong´s song definitely represents all the romantic spirit of the Great Gatsby.
