This work aims at discussing the theme of immorality, in Francis Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby. It attempts to shed light on how immorality is portrayed in the novel and how it is a reflection of the character of Americans in the 1920's. The work is based on the premise that most of Fitzgerald's characters if not all, indulge in immoral deeds in one way or another.
The Psychoanalytic approach centers the discussion in this work since all characters in The Great Gatsby are guided by internal motives and drives and respond according to their stimuli. In short, there is a thrust to understandwhy most characters indulge in immoral acts since all over the world are eager to stop it. The analysis proved that the immoral actions of the characters are a direct consequence of the First World War which had far reaching traumatic consequences on the survivors and especially the youth. War therefore should be avoided through diplomatic channels.
