Society in Jazz age
The dream of American society is to be rich and wealthy. In contrast, the wealth
wasnt the real happiness as everyone thought. (Gatsby- Daisy) The key of real
happiness need to consists of many factors, such as healthy relationship and
wealth, not just wealth alone.
F. Scott Fitzgerald coined the term "Jazz Age" to describe the decade of decadence and prosperity that America enjoyed in the
1920s, which was also known as the Roaring Twenties. After World War I ended in 1918, the United States and much of the rest of the
world experienced an enormous economic expansion. The surging economy turned the 1920s into a time of easy money, hard drinking
(despite the Prohibition amendment to the Constitution), and lavish parties. Though the 1920s were a time of great optimism, Fitzgerald
portrays the much bleaker side of the revelry by focusing on its indulgence, hypocrisy, shallow recklessness, and its perilouseven
fatalconsequences.
