Today’s Final Jeopardy Answer – Friday, 18 October 2024
The Final Jeopardy Answer is: The Great Gatsby
Final Jeopardy Explanation – Friday, 18 October 2024
The novel referred to in the New York Times article, which recognized Sands Point and Kings Point as the real “old-money” and “nouveau riche” settings, is “The Great Gatsby” by F. Scott Fitzgerald. In the novel, these locales are fictionalized as East Egg and West Egg, respectively. East Egg represents the more established, aristocratic wealth, while West Egg is seen as the home of the newly rich, those who have recently acquired their fortunes and lack the social connections and refinement traditionally associated with the old money families of East Egg. Fitzgerald uses these settings to explore themes of wealth, class, and aspiration in the Jazz Age, making poignant observations about the American dream and the social stratifications of his time.
