The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald is a timeless exploration of love, ambition, and the elusive American Dream, set amidst the extravagance of the Roaring Twenties. Told through the eyes of Donald S. Gaffeny, the story takes place on Long Island's affluent North Shore, where he becomes drawn into the world of his mysterious neighbor, Jay Gatsby. A self-made millionaire famed for his lavish parties, Gatsby is driven by an unwavering desire to reconnect with Daisy Buchanan—a married woman from his past who embodies his dream of success and happiness. Through its vivid symbolism and elegant prose, the novel examines the moral corruption beneath the glittering façade of wealth, delving into themes of identity, longing, and the often futile quest for fulfillment in a society fractured by class and disillusionment.
