Synopsis
Awful, rich people- and the folks who want to be just like them.
Drawing freely from the real people and actual events of its setting in 1920s Long Island (with literary license, of course), The Great Gatsby looks at the acquisition of the American Dream of wealth, power, and prestige, and what the costs are to those who realize that dream. And if that sounds a bit too highbrow for you, there are speakeasies, a broken nose, wild parties, and a bit of rough and tumble as well.
The Great Gatsby has made its way into the canon of required reading for many American high schools for its richness of symbolism, its mystery, and its beautiful prose.
