 Review Of The Book

Hello guys, today I am going to discuss THE GREAT GATSBY by F Scott Fitzgerald. It was 

 published in1920 and it was the best-selling novel of that time. Fitzgerald was also one of the most celebrated novelists of that time.

 

 If we talk about the genres of the book i would classify it as mystery till half of the novel im not able to understand what the persona of the main character of the novel really is like he is surrounded with mysteries, secondly I would classify it as a love story which is very complicated and the ending which the author given to it is really mind blowing and unexpected.

Talking about the plot of the story, the plot was set during the 20s , which was the time of economic development and cultural development in the United states lifestyle of people was changing and the media was focused on celebrities like movie stars and sports persons and big industrialists.

The whole novel revolves around the man J gatsby and explores his persona, about his past, about who he is. He is very wealthy man how he become so much wealthy is very suspicious story also he is in love with a women he met several years ago,but they got seperated for few years but now his love has married to someone else and he now seeks the reunion that women.

This story was narrated with the view point of Nick carrayway, he was a heal university graduates and he comes to settle nearby house of J gatsby because of his job and in the end we find that he is the only person who is emotionally attached to gatsby and cares for him though he hated him initially. 

Nick himself falls in love with a girl named Jordan Baker. She is also surrounded by lies and she won a first tournament by cheating.

Apart from the greed of wealth and mysteries there are also events of murder in the story which happens due to slight misunderstanding. This novel is a mixture of love, mysteries and lots of emotion.
