What can readers learn from Fitzgerald's portrayal about attitudes about class in the 1920s?
Wealth and poverty have always been tangled together in the landscape of the class struggles of the 1920s. The way they are depicted in the novel is a brutal, realistic representation of the realities of the time. – Kaya8 years ago
