Abstract
This extended essay is a study of the extent to which the novel The Great Gatsby by Scott F. Fitzgerald reflects the post-war socio-cultural differences of America. The essay involves the exploration of this subject in terms of the decaying moral values and the concepts of new and old money, which are proper examples for the specified illustrations of the impacts of World War 1 on America in the novel. The research question mainly handled primarily with references from the novel itself however, I have used several secondary resources to support my ideas properly, which I have cited with a bibliography. The purpose of this study is to analyze in what ways and to what extent the author handled the post-war social sequences which are mentioned above and the reliability of the historical context took place in the novel with references to author’s personal life. The essay is composed of two sections, the titles Decaying Moral Values (II.A) and Old Money vs. New Money (II.B). On the first section, the moral corruption, which is a major outcome of World War 1, is discussed in order to evaluate my research question broadly. The second section, Old Money vs. New Money, is about another essential outcome of The World War 1, which is consisted of economic issues and includes the detailed investigation of the clash between newly rich and born-rich. While I was analyzing these sections, I also make connections between them to achieve an accurate conclusion. As a conclusion, it is approved that Scott F. Fitzgerald has reflected the postwar socio-cultural differences of America fluently thorough out the novel with regard to his personal experiences of that era.
