How has The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald altered our perspective of ourselves, American Society and/or world issues? For my final project
1 paragraph

According to the foreword to the novel written by Charles Scribner III, Fitzgerald wanted to write a book that was "consciously artistic" and "beautiful and simple and intricately patterned."

Having had commercial success with This Side of Paradise, Fitzgerald hoped, in other words, to write a literary masterpiece. Fitzgerald started to write this novel as a satire called Trimalchio, based on the Roman satire the Satyricon, but the novel transcended that form. Gatsby was modeled on Trimalchio, a nouveau riche former slave who gave lavish parties, but Gatsby transformed in Fitzgerald's hands into a figure of tragic romance.

Fitzgerald also wanted to explore the American Dream, as the novel does through Gatsby's desire to start anew and wipe away the past, which is part of the larger American dream of coming to a new continent and creating a new and improved society. In Gatsby's case, the dream means regaining Daisy and acting as if the years they were apart never happened.

Fitzgerald succeeded in writing a novel that was lyrical, short, and "intricately patterned"—there is an enormous attention to detail in this work. Though not a success on its first release, the novel is now solidly in the canon of great American literature.
