The Great Gatsby
What If You Could Rewrite the American Dream?
By F. Scott Fitzgerald (1925)
The Original Story
In F. Scott Fitzgerald’s masterpiece of the Jazz Age, narrator Nick Carraway moves to West Egg, Long Island, and becomes drawn into the glittering world of his mysterious neighbor—Jay Gatsby. The enigmatic millionaire throws legendary parties every weekend, yet remains curiously aloof from his guests.
Nick soon discovers that Gatsby’s opulent lifestyle serves a single purpose: to win back his lost love, Daisy Buchanan, who lives across the bay in the old-money enclave of East Egg. Daisy is Nick’s cousin, now married to the brutish Tom Buchanan. As Gatsby and Daisy rekindle their romance, Nick finds himself caught in a web of wealth, desire, and moral decay.
The summer heat intensifies the tensions between Gatsby, Tom, and Daisy, leading to a devastating confrontation and a tragic accident that changes everything. What unfolds is a meditation on the corruption of the American Dream, the impossibility of recapturing the past, and the dark side of unlimited wealth.
Fitzgerald’s novel, now considered one of the greatest works of American literature, captures the decadence and disillusionment of the 1920s while asking timeless questions: Can we escape our past? Does love justify moral compromise? What is the true cost of pursuing a dream?
