Scott Fitzgerald, is set in the Roaring Twenties and follows the story of Nick Carraway, a young man who moves to Long Island and becomes entangled in the world of his wealthy and enigmatic neighbor, Jay Gatsby. Gatsby, a mysterious millionaire, is known for throwing extravagant parties in hopes of reuniting with his lost love, Daisy Buchanan, who is married to Tom. As Nick becomes closer to Gatsby, he uncovers the truth behind his wealth and his obsessive desire for Daisy. The novel explores themes of the American Dream, social class, love, and the destructive nature of idealism, ultimately leading to tragedy as Gatsby’s dreams are shattered by the harsh realities of life and the choices made by those around him. The book critiques the materialism and superficiality of the 1920s, presenting a poignant reflection on the unattainable nature of the American Dream.
