The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald Summary
Overview of The Great Gatsby
Fitzgerald's dazzling portrait of 1920s excess initially flopped, selling just 20,000 copies before becoming "The Great American Novel." What tragic irony - the book exploring wealth's corruption entered the public domain in 2021, ensuring immortality its ambitious protagonist never achieved.

The Gilded Facade of the American Dream
The summer of 1922 unfolds through the eyes of Nick Carraway, a Yale graduate who moves to West Egg, Long Island to learn the bond business. His modest bungalow sits in the shadow of Jay Gatsby's colossal mansion, where extravagant parties illuminate the night every weekend. Across the bay in fashionable East Egg lives Nick's cousin Daisy Buchanan with her husband Tom, a former Yale football star from an enormously wealthy family. Their marriage appears polished but hollow-Tom maintains a mistress in the city while Daisy confides cynically to Nick: "I hope she'll be a fool-that's the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool." One evening, Nick spots Gatsby standing alone on his dock, arms outstretched toward a tiny green light across the water-a light that marks Daisy's dock. This single image captures the novel's essence: desperate yearning for something just beyond reach, the American Dream itself distilled into one glimmering point of light.
