It throws light on the emptiness in the lives of these socially elevated people. These people are so involved in their own lives that they couldn’t care less of people outside their social milieu. It is a story of the American Dream. Jay Gatsby is man from a very poor background who makes it big with `ill-gotten money’. As the story progresses we realize that Gatsby is not great at all. He is as artificial as the people he interacts with. Set against the backdrop of New York City in 1920s the book is a must read to a get glimpse of the `high life’.
