ABSTRACT

The Great Gatsby is the story of eccentric millionaire Jay Gatsby as told by Nick
Carraway, a Midwesterner who lives on Long Island but works in Manhattan.
Gatsbys enormous mansion is adjacent to Carraways modest home, and Carraway
becomes curious about his neighbor after being invited to one of his famous parties.
Nick soon learns that Gatsby is in love Daisy Buchanan, Nicks cousin and the wife of
one Tom Buchanan, an acquaintance of Nicks from Yale. Buchanan takes his old
friend for a day in the city, where Nick learns that Buchanan has a kept woman,
Myrtle, the wife of a long island mechanic.
Gatsby sends a message through he and Nicks mutual friend, professional golfer
Jordan Baker, insisting that Nick plan a chance meeting for Gatsby and Daisy. Nick
learns that Gatsby, Jay Gatz at the time, and Daisy had once been in love, but Daisy
married Tom while Gatsby was in Europe during the Great War. In the aftermath of
this, Jay Gatz abandoned his old identity, becoming Jay Gatsby and amassing a
fortune with the help of notorious criminal Meyer Wolfsheim. Gatsby chose the site
of his house in Long Island because it was across the bay from Daisys house, from
which a green light could be seen at night.
Nick manages to get Gatsby and Daisy together, and while the meeting is
awkward at first, Gatsby soon relaxes and invites Nick and Daisy back to his
mansion. Gatsby and Daisy begin to see each other secretly with some frequency.
Nick and Gatsby also become close, as Nick is one of the only people who continue to
support Gatsby despite the numerous rumors that circulate around the man. Buchanan
eventually confronts Gatsby in Manhattan about the affair, and the two argue at length
about whom it is that Daisy genuinely loves. Daisy claims to love both of them, but
she decides to return to Long Island with Gatsby, not her husband. Daisy drives
Gatsbys car, but she accidentally kills a woman on the side of the road, and then
speeds off. It turns out that this woman is Buchanans girlfriend Myrtleshe had
only run out to see the car because she thought it was Buchanans.
Myrtles husband blames Buchanan for the death, but Buchanan informs him that
it was Gatsbys car that killed the woman. The mechanic goes to Gatsbys house,
where he shoots Gatsby and then himself. Daisy refuses to confess to her crime, and
only a few people, including Gatsbys father Henry, show up for Gatsbys funeral.

Introduction:
F. Scott Fitzgerald's 1925 novel The Great Gatsby is a tragic love story, a mystery,
and a social commentary on American life. Although it was not a commercial success
for Fitzgerald during his lifetime, this lyrical novel has become an acclaimed
masterpiece read and taught throughout the world. It follows a cast of characters
living in the fictional town of West Egg on prosperous Long Island in the summer of
1922. The story primarily concerns the young and mysterious millionaire Jay
Gatsby and his dreamy obsession for the beautiful former debutante Daisy
Buchanan. The Great Gatsby he explores themes of corruption, idealism, resistance
to change, social upheaval, and excess, creating a portrait of the Jazz Age or
the Roaring Twenties that has been described as a cautionary tale regarding
the American Dream.
Fitzgeraldinspired by the parties he had attended while visiting Long Island's north
shorebegan planning the novel in 1923, desiring to produce, in his words,
"something newsomething extraordinary and beautiful and simple and intricately
patterned."
First published by Scribner's in April 1925, The Great Gatsby received mixed
reviews and sold poorly; in its first year, the book sold only 20,000 copies. Fitzgerald
died in 1940, believing himself to be a failure and his work forgotten. However, the
novel experienced a revival during World War II, and became a part of American high
school curricula and numerous stage and film adaptations in the following decades.
Today, The Great Gatsby is widely considered to be a literary classic and a
contender for the title "Great American Novel". In 1998, the Modern Library editorial
board voted it the 20th century's best American novel and second best Englishlanguage novel of the same time period.

Literal Comprehension:
The central affairs of the novel take place in the year 1922 during summer. Nick
Carraway, a Yale graduate and warfare I veteran from the geographical area of
Midwest is the novels narrator. He takes employment in the Big Apple as a bond
salesperson. On Long Island, in the fictional village of West Egg, he rents a small
house. He lives nearby a lavish millionaire named Jay Gatsby. Jay Gatsby lives in a
big mansion and throws huge parties but doesnt participate in them. Nick goes to
visit his cousin Daisy Fay Buchanan and her husband Tom who Nick knew from
college days. They introduce Nick to Jordan Baker. Jordan is a cynical golfer who
starts a romantic relationship with Nick. She reveals to Nick that Tom has a mistress
named Myrtle Wilson who lives within the "valley of ashes" which is an associate
industrial merchandising ground between West Egg and the Big Apple town. Shortly
after the revelation, Tom takes Nick to the apartment where Tom and Myrtle keep
their affair. At the apartment, a vulgar and atypical party takes place. It ends with Tom
breaking Myrtle's nose after she annoys him by saying Daisy's name several times.
Nick somehow receives an invitation to one of the Gatsbys party as summer
progresses. Nick encounters Jordan Baker at the party, and they meet Gatsby himself,
a strange and surprisingly young man who acknowledges Nick from their same
division in World War I. Through Jordan, Nick later learns that Gatsby knew Daisy
from a romantic encounter in 1917 and is deeply infatuated with her. He spends
several nights observing the green light at the end of her dock, across the bay from his
mansion, hoping one day they will rediscover their lost romance. Gatsby's expensive
lifestyle and wild parties are an attempt to impress Daisy in the hope that she will one
day appear again at Gatsby's doorstep. Gatsby currently desires Nick to rearrange a
reunion between himself and Daisy. Nick invites Daisy to have tea at his house,
without telling her that Gatsby will also be there. After an initially awkward reunion,
Gatsby and Daisy reestablish their connection. They begin an affair and, after a short
time, Tom grows progressively suspicious of his wife's relationship with Gatsby. At a
luncheon at the Buchanans' house, Daisy speaks to Gatsby with such undisguised
intimacy that Tom realizes she is infatuated with Gatsby. Though Tom is himself
involved in an adulterous affair, he is outraged by his wife's unfaithfulness. He forces
the group to drive into New York City and confronts Gatsby in a suite at the Plaza

Hotel, asserting that he and Daisy have a history that Gatsby could never understand.
In addition to that, he announces to his wife that Gatsby is a criminal whose fortune
comes from bootlegging alcohol and other prohibited activities. Daisy realizes what
Tom means to her. Tom disrespectfully sends her to East Egg with Gatsby to prove
that Gatsby cannot hurt him.
When Nick, Jordan, and Tom drive through the valley of ashes on their way home,
they discover that Gatsby's automobile has hit and killed Tom's mistress, Myrtle. Nick
later learns from Gatsby that Daisy, not Gatsby himself, was driving the automobile at
the time of the accident but Gatsby intends to take the blame anyway. Myrtle's
husband, George, incorrectly concludes that the driver of the yellow car is the secret
lover he recently began suspecting she has, and sets out on foot to find its owner.
After finding out the yellow car is Gatsby's, he arrives at Gatsby's mansion where he
fatally shoots both Gatsby and then himself. Nick arranges an unsettlingly small
ceremonial for Gatsby. He then ends his relationship with Jordan, and moves back to
the Midwest, disenchanted with the Eastern lifestyle.
Major events:
Introduction of Gatsby: Gatsbys introduction into the plot is significant because the
story revolves around him. The beautiful early glimpse of him reaching out for light
across the bay, the party freaks different rumors about his past, and Nick and Jordans
search for him. These all things that lead up to somewhat delayed and unexpected
introduction to Gatsby have a great significance for the build up of the story along
with the representation of mystery that surrounds Gatsby.
Reunion of Gatsby and Daisy: Gatsby and Daisys encounter at Nicks place for the
tea is important because Gatsby with great precision has built his life around the
possibility of Daisys and his reunion. He has waited for this for 5 years. At this
moment, Gatsby allows the readers to see what he has hidden under his extravagant
lifestyle.
Confrontation between Tom and Gatsby: Gatsbys fight with Tom is the beginning of
Gatsbys degradation. His imagination of Daisy breaking up with Tom backfires.
Gatsby shows his undesirable part by letting his anger take over which he had tried so
hard to cover up. By doing this, he ruins the chance for, ever being with Daisy.
The Car Accident: Myrtle, Toms Mistress, is hit and killed by Daisy as she is driving
her and Gatsby back to Long Island. This traumatic event shows the integrity of
Gatsby, who is willing to take the blame for killing Myrtle. It also reveals the
cowardice of Daisy who retreats back into her comfortable mansion back in East Egg.
Even though Gatsby does not realize this but this event represents the last time Daisy
will be part of his life.
Gatsbys death: Gatsbys death is significant because it is the representation of the
horrible end of the dream he had built his life around. Even though, the fight with
Tom had signified his chance of ending up with Daisy was over, the absence of Daisy
in his funeral emphasized that his 5 years of dream was over. It represented the end of
the meaning of life he had given for himself.
People

Nick Carraway a Yale graduate originating from the Midwest, a World War
I veteran, and, at the start of the plot, a newly arrived resident of West Egg,
who is aged 29 (later 30). He also serves as first-person-narrator of the novel.
He is Gatsby's next-door neighbor and a bond salesman. He is easy-going,
occasionally sarcastic, and somewhat optimistic, although this latter quality
fades as the novel progresses.
Jay Gatsby (originally James "Jimmy" Gatz) a young, mysterious
millionaire with shady business connections (later revealed to be a
bootlegger), originally from north Dakota. He is obsessed with Daisy
Buchanan, a beautiful woman from Louisville, Kentucky whom he had met
when he was a young military officer stationed at the Army's Camp Taylor in
Louisville during World War I.
Daisy Buchanan a beautiful but shallow flapper. Daisy Fay was born into a
wealthy Louisville family. By 1917, Daisy was courted by several officers, by
which she met Jay Gatsby and the two fell in love. Before Gatsby left for war,
Daisy promised to wait for him. She is Nick's second cousin, once removed;
and the wife of Tom Buchanan.
Thomas "Tom" Buchanan a millionaire who lives on East Egg, and
Daisy's husband. Tom is an imposing man of muscular build with a "husky
tenor" voice and arrogant demeanor. He is a former football star at Yale.
Jordan Baker Daisy Buchanan's long-time friend with "autumn-leaf
yellow" hair, a firm athletic body, and an aloof attitude. She is Nick
Carraway's girlfriend for most of the novel and an amateur golfer with a
slightly shady reputation and a penchant for untruthfulness.
George B. Wilson a mechanic and owner of a garage. He is disliked by both
his wife, Myrtle Wilson, and Tom Buchanan, who describes him as "so dumb
he doesn't know he's alive." When he learns of the death of his wife, he shoots
and kills Gatsby, wrongly believing he had been driving the car that killed
Myrtle, and then kills himself.
Myrtle Wilson George's wife, and Tom Buchanan's mistress. Myrtle, who
possesses a fierce vitality, is desperate to find refuge from her complacent
marriage, but unfortunately this leads to her tragic ending. She is accidentally
killed by Gatsby's car (driven by Daisy, though Gatsby insists he would take
the blame for the accident).
Meyer Wolfshiem a Jewish friend and mentor of Gatsby's, described as a
gambler who fixed the World Series. Wolfshiem appears only twice in the
novel, the second time refusing to attend Gatsby's funeral.

Interpretation:
The Great Gatsby may appear to be novel of romantic relationship of a man and a
woman on the surface but it has much larger scope. The main theme of the novel, in
reality, has a less romantic scope. Though all of its action takes place over a mere few

months during the summer of 1922 and is set in a small geographical area, The
Great Gatsby is a highly symbolic account on 1920s America as a whole, in
particular the abuse of the American dream in an era of utmost prosperity and material
excess.
Fitzgerald portrays the 1920s as an era of decayed social and moral values, evidenced
in its overarching cynicism, greed, and empty pursuit of pleasure. ultimately in the
corruption of the American dream, as the unrestrained desire for money and pleasure
surpassed more noble goals. When World War I ended in 1918, the generation of
young Americans who had fought the war became intensely disillusioned, as the
brutal carnage that they had just faced made the Victorian social morality of earlytwentieth-century America seem like stuffy, empty hypocrisy. The dizzying rise of the
stock market in the aftermath of the war led to a sudden, sustained increase in the
national wealth and a newfound materialism, as people began to spend and consume
at unprecedented levels. A person from any social background could, potentially,
make a fortune, but the American aristocracyfamilies with old wealthscorned the
newly rich industrialists and speculators. Additionally, the passage of the Eighteenth
Amendment in 1919, which banned the sale of alcohol, created a thriving underworld
designed to satisfy the massive demand for bootleg liquor among rich and poor alike.
Fitzgerald positions the characters of The Great Gatsby as representation of these
social trends. Nick and Gatsby, both of whom fought in World War I, exhibit the
newfound cosmopolitanism and cynicism that resulted from the war. The various
social climbers and ambitious speculators who attend Gatsbys parties evidence the
greedy hike for wealth. The clash between old money and new money manifests
itself in the novels symbolic geography: East Egg represents the established
aristocracy, West Egg the self-made rich. Meyer Wolfshiem and Gatsbys fortune
symbolize the rise of organized crime and bootlegging.
As Fitzgerald saw it (and as Nick explains in Chapter 9), the American dream was
originally about discovery, individualism, and the pursuit of happiness. In the 1920s
depicted in the novel, however, easy money and relaxed social values have corrupted
this dream, especially on the East Coast. The main plotline of the novel reflects this
evaluation, as Gatsbys dream of loving Daisy is ruined by the difference in their

respective social statuses, his resorting to crime to make enough money to impress
her, and the rampant materialism that characterizes her lifestyle. Additionally, places
and objects in The Great Gatsby have meaning only because characters instill them
with meaning: the eyes of Doctor T. J. Eckleburg best exemplify this idea. In Nicks
mind, the ability to create meaningful symbols constitutes a central component of the
American dream, as early Americans invested their new nation with their own ideals
and values.
Nick compares the green bulk of America rising from the ocean to the green light at
the end of Daisys dock. Just as Americans have given America meaning through their
dreams for their own lives, Gatsby instills Daisy with a kind of idealized perfection
that she neither deserves nor possesses. Gatsbys dream is ruined by the unworthiness
of its object, just as the American dream in the 1920s is ruined by the unworthiness of
its objectmoney and pleasure. Like 1920s Americans in general, fruitlessly seeking
a long-gone era in which their dreams had value, Gatsby longs to re-create a extinct
pasthis time in Louisville with Daisybut is incapable of doing so. When his
dream crumbles, all that is left for Gatsby to do is die; all Nick can do is move back to
Minnesota, where American values have not decayed.
One of the major topics explored in The Great Gatsby is the sociology of wealth,
specifically, how the newly produced millionaires of the 1920s differ from and relate
to the old aristocracy of the countrys richest families. In the novel, West Egg and its
occupiers represent the newly rich, while East Egg and its occupiers, especially Daisy
and Tom, represent the old aristocracy. Fitzgerald portrays the newly rich as being
vulgar, loud, pretentious, and lacking in social kindnesses and taste. Gatsby, for
example, lives in a unbelievably attractive mansion, wears a pink suit, drives a RollsRoyce, and does not pick up on subtle social signals, such as the insincerity of the
Sloanes invitation to lunch. In contrast, the old aristocracy possesses grace, taste,
subtlety, and elegance, shown by the Buchanans tasteful home and the flowing white
dresses of Daisy and Jordan Baker.
What the old aristocracy possesses in taste, however, it seems to lack in heart, as the
East Eggers prove themselves careless, inconsiderate bullies who are so used to
moneys ability to ease their minds that they never worry about hurting others. The
Buchanans exemplify this stereotype when, at the end of the novel, they simply move

to a new house far away rather than humble themselves to attend Gatsbys funeral.
Gatsby, on the other hand, whose recent wealth derives from criminal activity, has a
sincere and loyal heart, remaining outside Daisys window until four in the morning in
Chapter 7 simply to make sure that Tom does not hurt her. Ironically, Gatsbys good
qualities (loyalty and love) lead to his death, as he takes the blame for killing Myrtle
rather than letting Daisy be punished, and the Buchanans bad qualities (fickleness
and selfishness) allow them to remove themselves from the tragedy not only
physically but also psychologically.

As in much of Shakespeares work, the weather in The Great Gatsby unfailingly

matches the emotional and narrative tone of the story. Gatsby and Daisys reunion
begins during a pouring rain, showing awkwardness and melancholy; their love
reawakens just as the sun begins to come out. Gatsbys climactic argument with Tom
occurs on the hottest day of the summer, under the scorching sun. Wilson kills Gatsby
on the first day of autumn, as Gatsby floats in his pool despite a profound chill in the
aira symbolic attempt to stop time and restore his relationship with Daisy to the
way it was five years before, in 1917.
Situated at the end of Daisys East Egg dock and barely visible from Gatsbys West
Egg lawn, the green light represents Gatsbys hopes and dreams for the future. Gatsby
associates it with Daisy, and in Chapter 1 he reaches toward it in the darkness as a
guiding light to lead him to his goal. Because Gatsbys quest for Daisy is broadly
associated with the American dream, the green light also symbolizes that more
generalized ideal. In Chapter 9, Nick compares the green light to how America, rising
out of the ocean, must have looked to early settlers of the new nation.
First introduced in Chapter 2, the valley of ashes between West Egg and New York
City consists of a long stretch of deserted land created by the dumping of industrial
ashes. It represents the moral and social decay that results from the immoral pursuit of
wealth, as the rich indulge themselves with regard for nothing but their own pleasure.
The valley of ashes also symbolizes the trouble of the poor, like George Wilson, who
live among the dirty ashes and lose their strength as a result.
The eyes of Doctor T. J. Eckleburg are a pair of fading, bespectacled eyes painted on
an old advertising billboard over the valley of ashes. They may represent God staring
down upon and judging American society as a moral wasteland, though the novel

never makes this point explicitly. Instead, throughout the novel, Fitzgerald suggests
that symbols only have meaning because characters instill them with meaning. The
connection between the eyes of Doctor T. J. Eckleburg and God exists only in George
Wilsons grief-stricken mind. This lack of concrete significance contributes to the
unsettling nature of the image. Thus, the eyes also come to represent the essential
meaninglessness of the world and the arbitrariness of the mental process by which
people invest objects with meaning. Nick explores these ideas in Chapter 8, when he
imagines Gatsbys final thoughts as a depressed consideration of the emptiness of
symbols and dreams.

Critical Viewpoint:
The novel goes to show the abuse of American dreams, the differences between two
types of rich people; ones who inherited the wealth from their forefathers and ones
who made the fortune for themselves and a love story destined to fail. It is a social
critique of the time and setting it was written in. F. Scott Fitzgerald seems to have
written the novel on moral grounds but his morals seem unsettling. He seems to be
bitter about the old rich types i.e. those who inherited the wealth. For him, a lavish
and greedy lifestyle is less moral thing to do than doing something illegal. Gatsbys
entire incentive on practicing lavish lifestyle revolves around impressing a woman
rather than a higher purpose. The characters of the novel are uninteresting and often
not very likeable. They are bland and have nothing much to offer. There is a heavy use
of symbolism throughout the novel, which the reader is supposed to interpret. The
symbolism prevails to make up for the depth the characters lack. The plot is based on
the events of a few months i.e. a single summer.
The characters on the novel are based on the people in Fitzgeralds life. Although the
writing in itself is brilliant but the tone of the novel is bleak. Fitzgerald writes with the
purpose to teach the readers something but only thing we can learn from the novel is
to abandon all the hopes. This literary classic is depressing and often non engaging as
we can predict the outcome from very beginning due to the tone of the novel. Gatsby
coveting for Daisy even after she goes and marries someone else should have been
sign enough for Gatsby to pursue someone else.
The character of Daisy is most uninteresting of all. She always chooses the safe route
to everything. She cant take risk and plays safe every time. She cannot leave Tom
even though she knows he is cheating on her because she cant give up the lifestyle
she has. She often bores the reader with her indecisiveness and her reaction is always
predictable. Her motivation behind perusing Gatsby seems to be rooted on her
boredom of being with Tom rather than love. Gatsby and Daisy have no chemistry.
Gatsbys lack to see the outcome is infuriating most of the time.
The narrator i.e. Nick, seems to be so enchanted by the charm of Gatsby, he sees no
motive in trying to correct Gatsbys faulty presumptions. For a character of the novel

and somehow one of the protagonists, he is very passive. He rarely takes actions and
is often guided by other characters whims. He is thus unable to engage the reader. His
optimism fades away with time which could have been preserved had he chosen to
take actions.
The novel despite the lack of sales and decent critical reception at the time is now a
classical gem. It is beautifully written although it lacks the emotional touch. In the
emotional spectrum, it only dwells on melancholy. It doesnt take one in the emotional
rollercoaster but keeps being motived by the epitome of sadness. The symbolism is
sometimes too much to digest but has its own peculiar beauty for the theme and
setting of the story. All in all, this novel deserves to be a classic.

Conclusion:
The novel is portrayal of 1920s America. It points out the rise of materialism during
that time, the post war effects and rise of an extravagant lifestyle. We can conclude
that people in this era or most characters depicted in the novel were careless and
uncaring who destroyed people and things and used their money as a means of
protection from anything negative. Materialistic lifestyle was more important than
morals and values. Human emotions were discarded for materialism. Money had
become more significant than ethics. Even the protagonist thought money was the key
factor in winning someones love. Money was equivalent of power. Money itself was
incentive enough to keep people around. Everybody in Gatsbys party liked Gatsby
not for who he was but what he could spend for them. Relationships lacked the human
touch and were guided by the greed.
The novel also portrays an alternative relationship grander than the entirety i.e.
friendship. Nick stood for Gatsby until and beyond the climax. He was the lone
person who was with him till the last sentence of the novel. Nicks arrangement of
Gatsbys funeral and his attachment with Gatsby till and beyond the climax might be
trying to render that friendship is more important than an infatuation with someone
who merely wants an affair due to the utter boredom of being herself.
Fitzgerald was trying to depict the metamorphosis that happened after the First World
War. Money and power became priority, humanity was greyed out and it has been
developing into the deeper roots of our society ever since.
