The West Egg is full of individuals who have developed a fortune as opposed to being born into an inheritance (East Egg). Day and night, Jay Gatsby's mansion on the West Egg buzzes with bright young things drinking, dancing (all things great in the 1920s), and debating his mysterious character. For Gatsby - young, handsome, fabulously rich - always seems alone in the crowd, watching and waiting, although no one knows what for. Beneath the shimmering surface of his life his is hiding a secret longing that can never be fulfilled.Fitzgerald brilliantly captures both disillusion of post-war America, the moral failure of a society obsessed with weather and status, and the disappointment of the American dream. Fitzgerald re-creates the universal conflict between illusion and reality but chronicling Gatsby tragic pursuit of his dream.
