The narrator, Nick Carraway, starts the book by giving us some advice from his father about not criticizing others.
The Buchanan live in the modern East Egg, while Nick lives in the West Egg area, which is less elite but is not coming down, located on the other side of the bay.
Nick will be trapped by a Jay Gatsby, a wealthy and mysterious guy who lives in a huge mansion next to Nick and spends most of the afternoons standing in his garden facing a green light.
Tom takes Nick to the city to show his mistress, a woman named Myrtle Wilson who, of course, is married. Her husband, George, is a low-class man who has a mechanic's shop and is completely unaware of his wife's extramarital affairs.
Gatsby was busy organizing big parties, which everyone was invited to go get drunk to and speculate on how Gatsby got to accumulate such fortune. Nick meets the mysterious man in one of his parties to which he went with the own invitation of the great Gatsby, and little by little befriends him.
Then, Gatsby reveals to Nick through Jordan that Daisy and he had had an affair before Gatsby went to war and she married Tom. Gatsby wants to get Daisy back, so he recruits Nick to help him plot a "casual" reunion.
Nick carries out the plan: Gatsby and Daisy meet and become lovers. Everything goes great until Tom meets Gatsby, who does not like him at all, and starts to investigate his business. Meanwhile, Nick learns everything: Gatsby was raised in a poor and uneducated family, until one day he met a wealthy old man named Dan Cody, who took him for a companion and taught him how to be rich . But Dan was not the one who left the money.
The key scene takes place in the city, when Tom and Gatsby catch up and start arguing over who will stay with Daisy. It turns out that Don Gatsby is an alcohol smuggler and Daisy can not leave her husband. They all go home by car, probably very grumpy, until Gatsby's car (in which he and Daisy go) runs over and kills Myrtle, Tom's mistress. Gatsby tells Nick that he was driving Daisy, but that he will take the blame for the accident. Meanwhile, Tom tells George where to find him. One morning while Gatsby was waiting for a call from Daisy, George appeared and shot him. Gatsby ends up dead.
Daisy and Tom leave, not taking care of the mess they set up.
He organizes the funeral of Gatsby, attended by only a few, although the father of the deceased appears with some more information about his past. Standing in the garden of Gatsby looking toward the green light (which incidentally turned out to be a light that was in front of Daisy's house, across the bay), Nick concludes that nostalgia always It forces us to return to the past.
