ABSTRACT

The Great Gatsby, third novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald, the novel tells the tragic story of Jay Gatsby, a self-made millionaire, and his pursuit of Daisy Buchanan, a wealthy young woman whom he loved in his youth, Gatsby, a poor young soldier, meets and falls in love with Daisy during the lead-up to World War I. Gatsby knew Daisy would not marry him due to lack of money, but he assumed she would wait. While he is in Europe, Daisy marries a wealthy businessman, Tom Buchanan. Gatsby is devastated and returns to America. He turns to illegally selling alcohol or bootlegging to make his fortune. This allows Gatsby to build a mansion across the Long Island Sound in West Egg from Daisy's home in the respectable East Egg. On many summer nights, Gatsby throws lavish parties hoping that Daisy might show up to one. Unfortunately, Daisy never does. Gatsby insists that he and Daisy have always been in love and that she has never loved Tom. As the fight escalates, Tom reveals what he had learned from an investigation into Gatsby’s affairs—that he had earned his money by selling illegal alcohol. Gatsby tries to deny it, but Daisy has lost her resolve to leave her husband, and Gatsby’s cause seems hopeless. Gatsby and Daisy leave together in Gatsby’s car, with Daisy driving. On the road she hits and kills Myrtle Wilson, Tom’s mistress, though her identic. Gatsby's quest leads him from poverty to wealth, into the arms of his beloved, and eventually to death.
