The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald

The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald

Published in 1925, F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby stands as the definitive portrait of the Roaring Twenties — an era defined by jazz, economic prosperity, and prohibition. Set during the summer of 1922 on Long Island, New York, the novel critiques the illusion of the American Dream through a story of obsession, wealth, and social division.

The story is told entirely through Nick Carraway, a young midwesterner working in bond sales who rents a small house in West Egg. He finds himself living next door to Jay Gatsby, a mysterious millionaire famous for throwing lavish, decadent parties. Nick's cousin, Daisy Buchanan, lives across the bay in the old-money enclave of East Egg with her arrogant, wealthy husband, Tom. As Nick is pulled into their orbit, he discovers that Gatsby's entire fortune and persona were built for a single purpose: to win back Daisy, the love he lost five years prior.

Central Themes & Symbols

"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."

The Green Light: Situated at the end of Daisy’s East Egg dock, the light represents Gatsby’s romanticized hope for the future and his unattainable yearning to repeat the past.

The Eyes of Dr. T.J. Eckleburg: A fading, giant billboard of an oculist overlooking the Valley of Ashes. It serves as a haunting visual symbol of God, or a higher moral judgment, looking down on a spiritually vacant society.
