    The annotated bibliography discusses several articles that analyze F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel The Great Gatsby, focusing on themes like the 1920s time period, the American Dream, and why it's considered a classic.

    The novel tells the story of Jay Gatsby and his love for Daisy Buchanan set during the 1920s in New York. It explores themes of decadence, idealism, resistance to change, and social upheaval in American society.

    The novel depicts the decline of the American Dream and disillusionment as characters pursue wealth and status as measures of success. It shows how the characters become obsessed with wealth, status and care more about appearances than values.
