Fitzgerald and His American Tragedy of the "Jazz Age"

In The Great Gatsby Scott Fitzgerald, combining with his own life experience, in a sad and serious tone, shows us the real problem of American hidden behind the extravagant and frenetic parties after the World War. The cleverly chosen narrator, Nick Carraway, sets a double vision of the story, which not only helps the compactness but also the objectiveness of the story. Only a talent writer can have such success.
