The Great Gatsby: American Dream or Nightmare?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
"...Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that's no matter--tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther...and one fine morning--So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."
🍸✨In his most famous work, The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald takes a good hard look at the American dream, and what it means for all people, careless or otherwise. Join us as we journey to the Roaring 20s, with flappers, feathers and sparkly parties, and see just what they might have in common with our own 20s.
