In the dazzling world of F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, the opulence of the Roaring Twenties masks a deeper tragedy as Jay Gatsby, a mysterious millionaire, throws extravagant parties in hopes of rekindling his romance with the beautiful Daisy Buchanan. As told by Nick Carraway, Gatsby's neighbor and confidant, the novel unfolds against the backdrop of wealth, ambition, and the elusive American Dream. As Gatsby's past collides with his present, the story reveals the hollowness of high society and the destructive power of love and obsession. With its rich symbolism and unforgettable characters, The Great Gatsby serves as a poignant exploration of desire, loss, and the disillusionment that lurks beneath glittering façades.
