The main theme of the novel‚ however‚ encompasses a much larger‚ less romantic scope. Though all of its action takes place over a mere few months during the summer of 1922 and is set in a circumscribed geographical area in the vicinity of Long Island‚ New York‚ The Great Gatsby is a highly symbolic meditation on 1920s America as a whole‚ in particular
