In the Great Gatsby, E Scott Fitzgerald gives a splendid picture of America after the First World War - a time when the most important thing in life for some people became to gain wealth and status. Fitzgerald shows the reader the bright and empty life of the rich, and yet he is able to draw some meaning from it. The main character, Gatsby, believes that his youth and beauty can be regained if only he can make enough money. In this way, Gatsby becomes a symbol of the American dream.
