F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby presents a vivid chronicle of the Jazz Age and is a tightly constructed work of literary genius. In the novel, Nick Carraway tells the story of Jay Gatsby, a charming bachelor who has amassed a fortune as a racketeer to build a mansion on Long Island and throw fabulous parties that he hopes will allow him to win back his spouse's love. Daisy Buchanan. With Nick's help, a reunion is arranged between Gatsby and Daisy, but Daisy ultimately returns to her husband. Gatsby is killed due to a misunderstanding, and Nick retreats to his native Midwest, disillusioned. The novel is the story of the American dream. Toward the end of the novel, a deathly ill Gatsby awaits a call from Daisy that never materializes, but he dies an incurable romantic, still clinging to an ideal conception of his sweetheart that she can never realize in reality. Nick is aware that the dream of moving forward and conquering the perfect girl is corrupt in its essence. Nick, however, also realizes that without the dream, life is sterile and worthless. The characters in this short novel are all very interesting due to the distinctive and well-defined traits that Fitzgerald gives them. The main characters, Daisy, Gatsby and Nick, are particularly well-rounded. Nick, the narrator and "referee", remains out of the action for much of the novel and reserves judgment until the end of the novel, when he reaches the symbolic age of thirty and expresses the author's moral verdict: according where an ideal based on materialism is a corruption of the American dream, but selfless devotion to a corrupt ideal is morally superior to the complete selfishness that motivates everyone except Gatsby. Gatsby himself... at the center of the paper... serialism as a medium. The substitution of false but attractive destinations like that of the Margaret as the fulfillment of America's promise changed the East, "the fresh and green bosom of the new world" (189) as the Dutch sailors saw it with all its trees and flowers , in a grotesque moral wasteland represented by the "valley of ashes" (27) between West Egg and New York where only the morally irresponsible can survive. Fitzgerald believes that we are in a vicious circle, the established wealth is corrupt but the new rich adopt the same ideals as the old rich and become corrupt and join the established wealth and then the new group aspires to the established rich values ​​and so on. Both sides, if seen from the right perspective, are as corrupt and morally irresponsible as the other and, even if they move in different fields, they are as similar as two eggs..
