F. Scott Fitzgeralds "The Great Gatsby" is a poignant exploration of the American Dream, set against the opulent backdrop of the Roaring Twenties. Through the eyes of the narrator, Nick Carraway, the novel delves into themes of wealth, love, and moral decay, revealing the elusive nature of aspiration. Fitzgeralds lyrical prose, characterized by rich imagery and a keen sense of irony, captures the decadence of the Jazz Age, while also critiquing the superficiality that permeates its social elite.
