The book report of The Great Gatsbay
By F. Scott。

Fizgerald
The Great Gatsbay is written by American author F。

Scott. Fizgerald, who is considered a member of the ”lost generation”of the Twenties。

It was first published on 1925。

The following is the main plot of the novel.
A young man named Nick Caraway，who came to New York City in string of 1922。

He became involved in the life of his neighbour at Long Island，jay Gatsbay revealed to Nick，that he fell in love with his cousin Daisy before the war. At that time, he is poor。

However，Daisy married Tom Buchanan，a rich but boring man of good social position. But Gatsby was still in love with her.
In Gatsby's opinion，daisy was a beautiful and charming that he had never seen。

But I think she was also fickle，shallow，hypocritical。

She was love with money，easy，and material luxury because she seemed to love Gatsby，but just appearance. Although I know the real Daisy, Gatsby did not know her clearly。

This is the main reason why Gatsby could not get what he wanted.
Becoming wealthy is the most important for him. Large fortune was from distributing illegal alcohol and trading in stolen securities。

After getting money, Gatsby got luxurious possessions. "And a marble swimming
pool，and more than forty acres of lawn and garden, it was Gatsby mansion。

”Besides,Gatsby went to Oxford University to get further study in order to make him more elegant and noble。

He changed since his New Haven years. Now he was a study straw-haired man of thirty with a rather hard mouth and a supercilious manner。

Two shining arrogant eyes has established dominance over his face and gave him the appearance of always learning aggressively forward。

Not even the effeminate swank of his riding clothes could hide the enormous power of that body- he seemed to fill those glistening boots until he strained the top lacing, and you could see a great pack of muck shifting when his shoulder moved under his thin coat。

It was a body capable of enormous beverage —”a cruel body”in Nick’s eyes.
Gatsby held sumptuous parties every weekend at his mansion。

The party is almost unbelievably luxurious. He made friends who have outstanding fame and high position.
Due to natural instincts—vanity, Daisy began to sob helplessly；；I did love him true, but I loved you too." when Gatsby tried to convince her to leave Tom。

Gatsby lost Daisy because he had no money，but he still loved her. It was the blinding love that killed him。

Daisy，driving Gatsby’s car，hit and killed Tom’s mistress，Myrtle Wilson, Gather knew the truth, but he kept silent to protect her. Afterwards, Tom told Myrtle’s husband that it was Gatsby killed his
wife。

Then Wilson murdered Gatsby and committed suicide。

After Gatsby’'s dying，almost no people including those who usually attended his parties came to his funeral。

Nick was left to arrange Gatsby’s funeral, attended only Gatsby’s father and the former guests。

The woman who ever allowed Gatsby to take the blame for killing Myrtle rather than attend his funeral moved away with her husband finally, leaving no contact address。

Gatsby is the typical American youth in the twenties。

He regarded Daisy as the symbol of the youth，money and status deeply. He thought innocently：he can receive the last love, his dream after having money。

It was a pity. He had misunderstood the girl he loved and the boring society on the surface. So he would never made his dream come true. But, he tried his best.。
