The Great Gatsby - Francis Scott Fitzgerald

Theme Love Scott Fitzgerald s third novel was published in 1925 and has justifiably become a 20th century literary classic. Gatsby asked Daisy urgently. What Gatsby Could it be the same young army lieutenant whom Daisy Fay met five years ago and who owns a sumptuous house on Long Island where New York society enjoys the best parties on offer Is it just coincidence that Gatsby lives across the bay from Daisy now married to wealthy polo-player Tom Buchanan As one man s mysterious dream moves towards its ultimately tragic conclusion Midwesterner Nick Carraway is drawn into the dark world of Gatsby s past and present a world of hidden frustrations and superficial relationships which perfectly illustrates the careless and confused nature of America s Jazz Age.
