"'I read somewhere that the sun's getting hotter every year,' said Tom genially.
... 'or wait a minute - it's just the opposite - the sun's getting colder every year'."
                                                                                                                  The Great Gatsby


22才の主人公が、ロングアイランドに移り住むところから始まる物語に惹かれて、

フィッツジェラルドの「偉大なるギャッツビー」読んだ。

どうしてギャッツビーは偉大なのか、疑問を抱きながら読み進んだ。

最後のページを読み終えて、

今少し分かった気がする。


Attracted by the introductory of the story - a 22 year-old protagonist moving into Long Island -

read F. Scott Fitzgerald's 'Great Gatsby'.

Throughout the story, I was wondering what was so 'great' about Gatsby.

Having just read the last page,

I somewhat understood it now.
