Explanation:

1. "Great Gatsby" illustrates the intensity of materialism that swept away the American culture and displays the shallowness and futility of the relentless pursuit of material possessions. Fitzgerald emphasizes the damage caused by this materialism has deprived the American society of actual growth.

2. Fitzgerald presents the story through Nick's point of view to illustrate the events more significantly as he is a character too. Yet Fitzgerald has made necessary omissions and contradictions to provide the audience with a scope to decide whether to believe Nick's ideas or not. Thus, this leaves the story open-ended.
