The style of The Great Gatsby is wry, sophisticated, and elegiac,
employing extended metaphors, figurative imagery, and poetic
language to create a sense of nostalgia and loss.
Fitzgerald was inspired to write the book by the grand parties he
attended on prosperous Long Island, where he got a front-row
view of the elite, moneyed class of the 1920s, a culture he
longed to join but never could.
Gatsby's central aim through the novel is to see Daisy again and
recaptured their shared past. On a trip to the city with Tom, Nick
meets Tom's mistress, Myrtle.
Fitzgerald criticizes American society for depriving Gatsby of his
American dream because of the country's growing obsession
with consumer culture and misunderstanding of the American
dream as a culmination of wealth.
The Characters were drawn by Rizal from person who actually
existed during this time.
