Reply to comment by Suspiciously_Flawed in I do not think the Great Gatsby is a critique of American society by Suspiciously_Flawed

The socioeconomic setting of a novel is almost always a major backdrop for any work of literature and it reflects what the author thought of the society. The Jazz Age is a significant aspect of the novel. Great works of literature are open to many interpretations and Great Gatsby is no different.

Very true, I agree with that, the good thing about complex novels is that it can be interpreted accurately in many ways.
