Antediluvian is an adjective and has two meanings:
1) of or belonging to the time before the Biblical flood
2) Ridiculously old fashioned or greatly out of date (sometimes used in a humorous sense)
Here, I'll use it in a sentence:
I often feel my mother wears clothes that are so antediluvian, she never has to worry about blending in with the crowds.
<span>As soon as the latest iPhone came out, the older models became antediluvian to tech experts.

F. Scot Fitzgerald critiques the idea of the american dream (like many other classic authors) through the situations of the characters.

(with the crash looming in 1929) there was a belief that anyone could 'strike it rich' like Gatsby did. George and myrtle Wilson were middle class people looking to improve their life, and achieve the american dream daisy is the ultimate, perfect example of the american dream. the darkest secret at the end, Gatsby's wealth didn't come from work, it came from a life of crime.

'But I didn't call to him for he gave a sudden intimation that he was content to be alone--he stretched out his arms toward the dark water in a curious way, and far as I was from him I could have sworn he was trembling. Involuntarily I glanced seaward--and distinguished nothing except a single green light, minute and far away, that might have been the end of a dock.'
very key symbol of the green light, and Gatsby reaching out to something (the american dream) that he cannot acquire.
