This work examines the theme of marriage and class consciousness in Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby and Mwangi Gichesru's Across the Brudge.
It traces the complications involved in having a smooth relationship between members from different social classes. It further analyses how people the poor class struggle to get married with those from the prosperous class and the impacts they suffer from once they succeed or fail as this is the case of Chuma who succeeds to marry Caroline on the one hand and Gatsby who fails to marry Daisy on the other hand. Not only these writers present the social boundaries to marriage and the consequences of class consciousness ; they also expose the stratified classes in American society and Kenyan society, and as a result ; the existence of misunderstanding between classes. Our argument in this study is constructed against the hypothesis that mariages in Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby and Gicheru's Across the Bridge are frought with class consciousness. Written against Marxism theory and New Historicism, this work concludes that marriages between people from different social classes is stannous.
