Analysis aside, the book is a joy to read simply for its linguistic beauty.

There is a lot that happens in the first chapter of The Great Gatsby itself. We are introduced to the narrator and are warned that "Whenever you feel like criticizing anyone, just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had." We are also introduced to the rigid ideas of caste and class and told about East Egg versus West Egg. This is important as it creates the setting for the novel and the class conflicts that follow. I found a great site called Shmoop which breaks down The Great Gatsby chapter wise for all those who want a clearer, more in-depth reading of the book. Check it out.
