Abstract
F. Scott Fitzgerald is one of the writers that have the aim to reflect the decadence of the society in American literature with the affect of the astray structure of the 1920s, which is mostly known as the ‘Jazz Age’. The essentials of the ‘Jazz Age’ are depicted in Fitzgerald’s novel ‘The Great Gatsby’ in every aspect. The enchanting texture of the era is given in a solid interactive relation with the notion of the ‘American Dream’ in the novel. The main character Jay Gatsby is portrayed as a man who thoroughly meets the requirements of the ‘American Dream’ while perfectly mirroring the exaggerated luster of the 1920s. The extended essay concerns about the progression and the alteration of the ‘American Dream’ in the novel ‘The Great Gatsby’ while analyzing the extreme resemblance between the evolution of the ‘American Dream’ and the evolution of the main character Gatsby with a dialectical approach. The fist section of the essay, the introduction, targets to give background information about the ‘American Dream’ and the ‘Jazz Age’ and also targets to relate these notions to the novel. The following part is composed of the assessment of the character Gatsby to construe the birth, progress and the downfall of the ‘American Dream’ and to describe the interpretation of the ‘Jazz Age’ in the novel. Ultimately, the conclusion will justify the indistinguishability of Gatsby and the ‘American Dream’.
