Psycholanalytic and Marxist approaches in 'The Great Gatsby'

In the novel The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald (reprinted, 2016) depicted the developing American society of the 1920s. The narrative approach of the author remains simple and surprising at the same time. As the plot develops, the reader starts getting a clear picture of the psychological differences between the people of West Egg against the East Egg of Long Island. The ideology remains focused on showing the differences between the personal and social point of view that tries to reflect gaps in the American Dream. The characters of this novel are all true representatives of different lifestyles and ideologies of 1920s America.
