Set in the Jazz Age of the 1920s, The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald explores themes of love, ambition, wealth, and the elusive American Dream. The novel is narrated by Nick Carraway, a young bond salesman who moves to the affluent West Egg district of Long Island. Nick becomes entangled in the lavish world of his enigmatic neighbor, Jay Gatsby, a self-made millionaire known for his extravagant parties but shrouded in mystery.
Gatsby’s obsession with rekindling his romance with Daisy Buchanan, Nick's cousin and a married socialite living in nearby East Egg, drives the story. Daisy represents everything Gatsby yearns for: wealth, status, and a dream of perfect love. However, her indifferent husband, Tom Buchanan, becomes a formidable obstacle.
As Nick uncovers the truth about Gatsby’s humble beginnings and the morally ambiguous means through which he attained his fortune, the glittering facade of wealth begins to crack. The story crescendos with heartbreak, betrayal, and tragedy, highlighting the corruption of the American Dream and the human cost of unattainable desires.
Through its unforgettable characters and poignant commentary on society, The Great Gatsbycaptures the spirit and disillusionment of an era, leaving a lasting impression of a dream pursued but never fully realized.
