The Great Gatsby
by F. Scott Fitzgerald
In a nutshell, the result of someone hating a concept so bad, they write a book fixating on the concatenation of that hatred. Interesting in terms of intriguing symbolism and complex characters, this entire novel is a challenge to the idyllic whilst maintaining a dreamlike tone, alluding to the privileges that entertain the possibility of a more lavish but sinful life, when hopes and pain rely heavily on the idea rather than the brutal reality.
There was a lot to unpack and its a short book but one you really think about after reading it. The climax and ironical karma was so well-written, with just enough action, and one of the few books whose ending tied up the book's elements by the end. However, I feel like the entire point of America's ruin wasn't quite driven home, as this idea was only reinforced by putting the characters on trial. It is surprising to find the gender roles were not convential but played with, as the higher class had more options, even back then.
There are so many themes in this book but I found this novel to be one of the few classics that gives an insight and a plot that I've read so far.
