Itroduction
This novel was written by Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald. He was an American author of novels and short stories, who is regarded as one of the greatest American writers of the 20'h century. F itzgerald co ined a term called Jazz Age, of which his works are the best representatives. He had a very close personal re lationship with Hemingway and he is also considered as one of the "Lost Generation" of the 1920s. His masterpieces are five novels: This Side of Paradise, The Beautiful and Damned, Tender is the Night, The Love of the Last Tycoon and his most famous one, The Great Gatsby. Fitzgerald also wrote many short stories that treated themes of youth and promise along with despair and age. F itzgerald was born in an Irish Catholic family of upper middle class in 1869. During his entire life, he had been a novelist, a short story writer and a poet. When he was a poor student, F itzgerald once left Princeton to enlist in the US Army during World War I; however, the war ended shortly after his enlistment. The story of The great Gatsby took place following World War I. F itzgerald was the most famous chronicler of 1920s America, an era that he dubbed "the Jazz Age." Written in 1925, The Great Gatsby is one of the greatest literary documents of this period, in which the American economy soared, bringing unprecedented levels of prosperity to the nation. Prohibition, the ban on the sale and consumption of alcohol mandated by the Eighteenth Amendment to the Constitution (1919), made millionaires out of bootleggers, and an underground culture of revelry sprang up. Sprawling private parties managed to elude police notice, and "speakeasies" 一secret clubs that sold liquor 一thrived. The chaos and violence of World War I left America in a state of shock, and the generation that fought the war turned to wild and extravagant living to compensate. The staid conservatism and timeworn values of the previous decade were turned on their ear, as money, opulence, and exuberance became the order ofthe day.
Like Nick in The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald found this new lifestyle seductive and exciting, and, like Gatsby, he had always idolized the very rich. Now he found himself in an era in which unrestra ined materialism set the tone of society, particularly in the large cities of the East. Even so, like Nick, F itzgerald saw through the glitter of the Jazz Age to the moral emptiness and hypocrisy beneath, and part of him longed for this absent moral center. In many ways, The Great Gatsby represents F itzgerald's attempt to confront his conflicting feelings about the Jazz Age. Like Gatsby, F itzgerald was driven by his love for a woman who symbo lized everything he wanted, even as she led him toward everything he despised.
