West Egg  Long Island  he has no idea that the lavishly outfitted mansion next to his modest
house is home to Jay Gatsby. Eventually  Nick becomes aware of Gatsby’s intense interest in his
cousin Daisy Buchanan  and when Daisy’s brutish husband  Tom  probes into Gatsby’s background 
he uncovers unsavory truths about his rival’s wealth . . .   Literary history and meaning: The
Great Gatsby   by F. Scott Fitzgerald  was first published in 1925. Set in the Jazz Age on Long
Island  New York  it tells the story of Jay Gatsby  a wealthy  mysterious  and complex man
driven by an obsession with his past  and Daisy Buchanan  a married woman he loved in his
youth. Considered one of the greatest novels ever written  it explores themes of love  loss 
and the American Dream.  The Great Gatsby  has been adapted numerous times for film  including
the 1974 release starring Robert Redford as Jay Gatsby. While the events of the novel take
place during the roaring twenties  the story’s relevance today lies in the contrast between the
façade the wealthy can portray—on social media  for example—and the dark realities behind the
scenes  revealing the fallacy of the American Dream.
