is not gold. Fitzgerald portrays the dark and sinister side of the Roaring Twenties. The Great Gatsby provides an assessment of the gilded life of the 1920s and its underlying corruption.

memorable philosopher of the eighteenth century most famously credited by his work The Critique of Pure Reason, which played a role in the revolution of Western philosophy. In a later publish of Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals, Immanuel Kant introduces Kantian ethics which consist of theories such as the categorical imperative.
