Answer: The empty materialism that is damaging American society

Explanation:

F.Scott Fitzgerald's <em>Great Gatsby</em> is a novel from 1925. Set in 1922, in the fictional neighborhoods of 'West Egg' and 'East Egg' ( in real life, Great Neck and Port Washington), the novel portrays the decade known as The Roaring Twenties.

During this period of economic growth, people spent their money on expensive clothes and automobiles. This is also characteristic of the characters in the novel - they are convinced that material goods will make them happy. <em>Materialism</em> is the attention given to material wealth rather than spiritual or moral values. As seen in the novel, increased spending does not really make the characters happy. Although Daisy lives in a luxurious house, she feels alone and is dissatisfied with her life. Similarly, Gatsby throws fancy-dress parties, but is a sad man that tragically dies.
