  • Summary

  • Set in the summer of 1922, it tells the story of Jay Gatsby, a mysterious millionaire, and his pursuit of the American Dream. The narrator, Nick Carraway, moves to Long Island's wealthy enclave of West Egg, where he becomes entangled in the lives of his wealthy and enigmatic neighbor, Jay Gatsby, and his cousin Daisy Buchanan, who is married to the wealthy but morally corrupt Tom Buchanan. Through themes of love, wealth, and the decline of the American Dream, Fitzgerald explores the Jazz Age and the emptiness of the pursuit of material wealth and social status. The novel is renowned for its vivid portrayal of the Roaring Twenties and its critique of the American Dream.
