Zelda finally agreed to marry him, but her preference for wealth, fun, and leisure led her to delay their wedding until he could prove a success. Like Nick in "The Great Gatsby", Fitzgerald found this new lifestyle seductive and exciting, and, like Gatsby, he had always idolized the very rich. In many ways, "The Great Gatsby" represents Fitzgerald's attempt to confront his conflicted feelings about the Jazz Age. Like Gatsby, Fitzgerald was driven by his love for a woman who symbolized

The Great Gatsby The Great Gatsby is a 1925 novel written by American author F. Scott Fitzgerald that follows a cast of characters living in the fictional towns of West Egg and East Egg on prosperous Long Island in the summer of 1922. The story primarily concerns the young and mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby and his quixotic passion and obsession with the beautiful former debutante Daisy Buchanan. Considered to be Fitzgerald's magnum opus, "The Great Gatsby" explores themes of decadence, idealism, resistance to change, social upheaval, and excess, creating a portrait of the Roaring Twenties that has been described as

Fitzgerald expressed intense enthusiasm for the title "Under the Red, White and Blue", but it was at that stage too late to change. "The Great Gatsby" was published on April 10, 1925. Fitzgerald remarked that "the title is only fair, rather bad than good." Early drafts of the novel have been published under the title "Trimalchio: An Early Version of The Great Gatsby". A notable difference between the "Trimalchio" draft and "The Great Gatsby" is a less complete failure of Gatsby's dream in "Trimalchio". Another difference is that the argument between Tom Buchanan and Gatsby is more even, although Daisy

Among positive things, the book was a finalist for the Prix Goncourt in 2013, one of the most prestigious French literary awards. Several articles liken the book to a modern day "Great Gatsby". In a review from "The Washington Post," Ron Charles simply notes the Gatsby-like qualities of Samir Tahar.

In addition to exploring the trials and tribulations of achieving the great American dream during the Jazz Age, "The Great Gatsby" explores societal gender expectations as a theme, exemplifying in Daisy Buchanan's character the marginalization of women in the East Egg social class that Fitzgerald depicts. As an upper-class white woman living in East Egg during this time period, Daisy must adhere to certain societal expectations, including but certainly not limited

Nick Gillespie sees "The Great Gatsby" as a story of the underlying permanence of class differences, even "in the face of a modern economy based not on status and inherited position but on innovation and an ability to meet ever-changing consumer needs." This interpretation asserts that "The Great Gatsby" captures the American experience because it is a story about change and those who resist it, whether the change comes in the form of a new wave of immigrants (Southern Europeans in the early 20th century, Latin Americans today), the nouveau riche, or successful minorities.

Despite the criticism, some commentators have sympathized with the character.
