The main content of the Great Gatsby

Nick comes to New York from his hometown in the Midwest. Right next to his house is the luxurious residence of gatsby, the hero of the book. There's a big party here every night. Nick meets Gatsby, and that's how the story begins. Nick is full of inquisitive interest in Gatsby. The result of the inquiry is that Nick learns that Gatsby has a deep feeling that he cannot live without. Young Gatsby was not rich. He was a major officer. He fell in love with a girl called Daisy, who also had a soft spot for him. Then the First World War broke out and Gatsby was transferred to Europe. As if by chance but by necessity, Daisy broke up with him and married Tom, a rich young man from a wealthy family. Daisy's married life was not happy because Tom had another mistress. Material satisfaction could not fill Daisy's spiritual void. Gatsby is in great pain. He believes that it is money that makes Daisy betray the chastity of heart, so he decides to become a rich man. After several years, Gatsby finally succeeded. He built a mansion opposite Daisy's house. Gatsby spends a lot of money and plays his music all night, hoping to attract Daisy's attention to recover his lost love. Moved by Gatsby's infatuation, Nick visits his distant cousin Daisy, whom he has not contacted for a long time, and conveys Gatsby's love to her. Daisy flirts with Gatsby all the time. Gatsby was left dazed by her whim, and naively imagined that the affair would come to its desired end. However, the real tragedy is quietly opened at this time. Daisy was no longer the Daisy of old. Daisy merely took their ambiguous relationship as an irritant. Nick finally sensed it, but it was too late. Daisy, in a state of agitation, drove over and killed her husband's mistress. Gatsby takes responsibility for driving to protect Daisy, but Daisy has made up her mind to abandon Gatsby. Under Tom's provocation, the husband of his mistress shoots Gatsby. Gatsby ended up a total victim. Gatsby died without noticing the mocking smile on Daisy's face. The tragedy of Gatsby lies in that he devotes everything to the beautiful dream he wove, while Daisy, as the embodiment of his ideal, only has a beautiful body. Despite the fact that Daisy had long since moved on, and despite the fact that he could clearly hear "her voice was full of money," he stubbornly persisted in his pursuit of the old dream. People were holding a funeral for Gatsby, while Daisy and her husband were already on their way to travel in Europe. The love finally had an end. Nick, disgusted by the emptiness and injustice of human reality, returns to his hometown with a tragic feeling, far away from the hustle and bustle, the indifference, the emptiness and the emptiness of the metropolis.
