Considered to be one of the greatest American novels, The Great Gatsby explores the glittering promises and devastating illusions of the American Dream. Through this portrayal, audiences witness both the allure and emptiness of Gatsby’s dream. The adaptation focuses on the tensions between, and treatments of, social class, gender, race, and the true cost of the American Dream.
