Its also the master piece of American realism fiction in the early period of the 20th century. This work was written in 1925 by Fitzgerald. This period is called jazz age, its also the most exuberant period of the authors creativity. In this period, World War I has already ended up(1918) before Great Depression (1929) arrived. The traditional Puritan ethics crumbled and hedonism began to be popular. With Fitzgeralds words, this is a miracle of the era, an era of art, a miserly time, but also is a era full of taunt. Fitzgerald called the age as the jazz age, so he is called the poet laureate in this jazz age. As he himself also enjoyed this era warmly, he keenly felt this era for the romantic desire, the surface of the luxury of emptiness and behind is helpless, and in his works these emotions were reflect ed heartily. In his works, the delicate affection quarrel of the young people who are in and out of the golf course, country club and luxurious residence of the high society is an eternal theme, and the leading roles frustration and disappointment by money dispelling are everywhere. The Great Gatsby describes a story to represent the desire of the young and idealism. It involves the mercurial feelings including confusion and loss all the time. Fitzgerald thinks its the fate of the peoples fate in that era.Plot SummaryEvaluationThe Cause of Miriams Tragedy: 1. Social cause2. The isolated living environment 3. The influence of religion 4.
