Abstract

Fitzgerald is one of the most important American writers in the 20^th century. The publication of The Great Gatsby shows his great talent in American literature. Eliot, a famous poet and literary critic, once said that it was the first step in the development of the art of the novel since the age of Henry James. Fitzgerald's masterpiece, The Great Gatsby, focuses on Jazz Age New York in the 20th century, depicting the people in the different classes of the society. Besides, love is an eternal theme in literature. And the reality and humanity shown in The Great Gatsby are also of great significance to today's society.
