Storyline
F. Scott Fitzgerald published The Great Gatsby in 1925, inspired by his romance with a wealthy socialite and the roaring galas he was privy to during their relationship. The plot similarly follows the narrator Nick Carraway’s account of his acquaintance with his wealthy and extravagant neighbor, Jay Gatsby. Gatsby seems intent on finding a way to reunite with Daisy, his former flame - hosting legendary parties that pulse with jazz and champagne, yet Gatsby himself remains an enigma. But while he hides behind the glow of opulence, the story peels back the tragic reality of his unfulfilled desire.
