F. Scott Fitzgerald's masterpiece

The Great Gatsby

employs objects as narrative tools to reconstruct the landscape of the Jazz Age. Since the "object turning" in the 1990s

objects have become important parts to analyze literal works. In this novel

daily items such as clothing

telephones

and automobiles are used to integrate the characteristics of the age into his fictional narrative

providing a depiction

interpretation

and critique of the material culture of America in the 1920s. Serving as hidden threads

these objects closely interweave the leisure fashions

moral changes

class ascensions

and spiritual desolation of this age

revealing rich historical implications and a strong critical tone. The new materialistic writing od this novel not only portrays the Jazz Age as materially prosperous but spiritually decadent

but also profoundly criticizes the erosion of human nature and morality by consumerism

offering a unique perspective for the study of 20th-century American literature and providing significant insights for our times marked by increasing material prosperity.
