What’s the secret password?
Any admirer of the Roaring Twenties is sure to know this week’s password:
The Great Gatsby.
The Great Gatsby is a 1925 novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald, nestled in the vibrant Jazz Age of New York City— the quintessential backdrop for any spirited speakeasy! Beyond inspiring lavish themed soirées across the globe, The Great Gatsby is a literary gem. It delves into themes such as the American Dream, economic affluence, flapper culture, repercussions of prohibition, love, and the shadows of crime. At the heart of this tale is Jay Gatsby, a mysterious millionaire whose heart beats for Daisy Buchanan, a young woman of privilege from his past. In a quest for her family’s approval, Gatsby’s pursuit of wealth unfolds through his morally ambiguous choices. A tapestry of twists and turns ultimately reveals Gatsby as a bootlegger, a revelation that tragically costs him both Daisy's love and his own life. Today, we honor The Great Gatsby for its inspiration and insight into yesteryear as we seek to mirror what might have been!
