As Nick is drawn into Gatsby's world of luxury and longing, the novel explores themes of wealth, desire, social class, and the elusive nature of the American Dream. With its vivid portrayal of 1920s excess and its critique of materialism, The Great Gatsby remains a timeless reflection on love, ambition, and the price of chasing one's dreams.
