The novel "The Great Gatsby" is a work written by American writer Fitzgerald in 1925, 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 finally transformed from a pauper to a "great" rich man in people's hearts, but how he struggled to pursue his first love and lost his lover due to poverty. It reproduces the social reality of the "Jazz Age" in the United States in the 20th century.

"The Great Gatsby" describes the American society in the 1920s, where people were singing and drinking. By chance, a poor clerk named Nick met the rich and spendthrift Gatsby. He was surprised to find that the latter's inner connection was actually the little green light on the other side of the river. In the dancing light, lived his former lover Daisy. However, in the end, the goddess in Gatsby's heart is just a material girl in the world. As the hazy plot continues to unfold, all the truth is revealed, and Gatsby's tragic life is like fireworks. The brilliance is only for a moment, and the disillusionment is eternal. This is a gorgeous elegy of the "Jazz Age". In Fitzgerald's writing, it is like a poem and a dream, leaving a strong mark on the history of contemporary American literature.

It describes the story of a young man from a humble background but with outstanding talent who pursues a dreamy ideal and how he ultimately fails and becomes decadent and depressed.
