Work Preview 

In F. Scott Fitzgerald’s ‘The Great Gatsby’, the theme of the American dream is examined through the life of extremely wealthy individuals who perceive materialism as an end in itself. Baz Luhrmann’s 2013 adaptation of the film seeks to depict the novel’s reality but falls short of achieving this aim.
