The Jazz Age and the Roaring Twenties
The Great Gatsby is set in the Jazz Age, a period of economic prosperity and social change in the United States. The novel captures the spirit of the era with its depictions of lavish parties, flappers, and bootleggers.

Daisy Buchanan is a complex and tragic character. She is a wealthy woman who has been raised in privilege. However, she is also a victim of the Lost Generation, a group of young people who were disillusioned with the world after World War I.
