The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald is a short but powerful novel set in 1920s America. The story follows Jay Gatsby, a wealthy man who devotes his life to winning back his lost love, Daisy Buchanan. What stands out most is Gatsby’s pure and stubborn love. He builds a grand mansion and throws fancy parties, all just to catch Daisy’s attention. Yet, the 1920s “Jazz Age” is full of greed and emptiness—many people around Gatsby care only about money and status, not true feelings. This makes Gatsby’s devotion both touching and tragic. The book is easy to read but makes you think. It shows how chasing an unrealistic dream can lead to sadness, and how true love can get lost in a world of wealth. I recommend it to anyone who likes stories about love, dreams, and the dark side of success. It’s a quick read that leaves a lasting impression.
