F. Scott Fitzgerald: The Great Gatsby

This playlist captures the opulence, tension, and melancholy of The Great Gatsby's Jazz Age setting, its themes of love, disillusionment, and moral decay. The instrumental selections evoke the era's glamour and underlying unease through jazz-influenced classical and ambient sounds, while the vocal tracks provide lyrical narratives paralleling the characters' emotions and the novel's tragic arc.
