INTRODUCTION

F. Scott Fitzgerald's masterpiece The Great Gatsby (1925) is the quintessential tale of

the American dream: the heights a man may reach, the past he can discard, the joy he

may (or may not) find, and the tragedy that living the dream may bring him. The novel is

set in what Fitzgerald called the "Jazz Age," a period bridging the 1920s and 1930s, and

emphasizes the life of pleasure and decadence after the tragedy and horror of World

War I. Gatsby's American dream is essentially the "rags-to-riches" story about

overcoming poverty and creating a life of pure luxury and indulgence; Fitzgerald's

American dream is a dangerous, romantic myth.
