About This Novel
"The Great Gatsby" is a novel by American writer Scott Fitzgerald, set in New York and Long Island in the 1920s. The novel describes how Gatsby, who was born in poverty, went through all the hardships and unscrupulous means to acquire wealth, and later became a "great" rich man in people's hearts. He also struggled to pursue the lover he lost due to poverty in his first love. It reproduced the social reality of the "Jazz Age" in the United States in the 20th century and revealed the temptation and disillusionment of the "American Dream". The novel's text is short and concise, its structure is well-proportioned, and it uses typical scenes and actions, concise and lyrical language to provide readers with a "particularly touching American tragedy" full of charm and beauty.

After watching the movie and then reading the novel, I feel that more details have been added, especially the psychological description of the characters. Poor Gatsby, human relationships are cold and warm. When you disappear, maybe no one will remember you, leaving only the glorious feasting and feasting.
