“Prohibition refers to a period of time in America's history when the production, sale, and transport of alcoholic beverages was illegal. The Great Gatsby was set in the 1920s, when this law was in force. The law did not cut back on the drinking of the characters in the story; drinking was part of the privileged lifestyle.”

Gatsby 

Full name Jay Gatsby, a very wealthy man who lives in East Egg. He is famous for throwing big fancy parties every saturday night. A lot of rumors are going around about him, but no one really knows anything about him, or where he comes from, but Nick progressively learns more and more about him. 

Although Gatsby is making up a false facade, to make himself seem like he belongs in the upper-class. Such as being an Oxford man and his parents. 

When Gatsby met Daisy he instantly fell in love with her, but when he left for the military, she promised to wait for him. But she married Tom while Gatsby was in the military. 

Gatsby was willing to do almost anything to gain social position to get Daisy back. as she only married Tom because of his social position and wealthyness. Therefore, Gatsby's fortune is made through criminal actions.

One of the major themes in The Great Gatsby is how wealthy people, in the 1920’s, lived and their overall characteristics. The newly rich in West Egg are very different from the rich in East Egg

Fitzgerald portrays the wealthy in West Egg such as Gatsby as very loud and vulgar, and not having very great taste. For example he lives in a huge mansion and wears a pink suit. And he portrays the wealthy in East Egg such as Tom Buchanan and Daisy as more elegant and subtle in the way they behave. 

Another example of the hollowness of the upper-class, is how your wealth and position can get you married. The main goal for a woman is to be a fool, so she can get married to rich guys, so she will be assured of a good life. 

“I married him because I thought he was a gentleman,’ she said finally. ‘I thought he knew something about breeding, but he wasn’t fit to lick my shoe.”

Myrtle Wilson is talking about her husband, George, during a party in Myrtle’s apartment in New York City. Myrtle claims that George tricked her into marrying him by pretending to be more wealthy than he was, but Myrtle’s friends insist that she loved George. The scene, which reveals Tom’s temper to us when he later hits Myrtle, indicates the entanglement of love and money. The particular quote is both satiric and sad, because the Wilsons are so much poorer than anyone else in the novel.

Nick is the narrator of The Great Gatsby. He is tolerant, open-minded, quiet, and a good listener, and, as a result, others tend to talk to him and tell him their secrets. Gatsby, in particular, comes to trust him and treat him as a confidant.
