Key Insights from The Great Gatsby

  • Through the eyes of Nick Carraway, readers witness the moral decay of society in the 1920s, as individuals become lost in their desires and social ambitions. The contrast between East Egg and West Egg symbolizes the divide between old money and new wealth, emphasizing the elusive nature of the American Dream.
  • Fitzgerald's use of symbolism, particularly the green light at the end of Daisy's dock, represents Gatsby's unattainable dreams and the hope for a future that remains forever out of reach.
