Introduction
These Notes are in no way intended to serve as a substitute for the actual reading of The Great Gatsby. Though they will be useful as a review, they are designed mainly to give the reader an increased understanding and enjoyment of the novel. The intelligent use of the Notes, combined with a careful study of the text itself, should provide a richer comprehension of the elements that have made The Great Gatsby a finished work of art.
One feature that distinguishes the classics of our literature is the conscious artistry that fuses a work into a unified whole; every detail contributes to the unity of the final product, and nothing superfluous is permitted to remain. The Great Gatsby possesses this unity to a high degree, and this is a major reason for its survival as an important American novel rather than as a mere historical document depicting life in the twenties.
