The Great Gatsby is a movie and book produced by F-Scott-Fitzgerald and BazzLuhrman respectfully, The plot exploits the story of a young man named Jay Gatsby of which became a self made millionare talking about his pursuit of Daisy Buchanan a girl that he had fell in love with from youth. These are two stories tied together as a representation of capitalistic societies in the novels. The protagonists represent the flawed values of the social elite in both Victorian England and 1920s America, while Gatsby is ruined by green and obsession appearing to be someone that he is not, this reflects towards the other connection of  Dorian gray ruined and drawbacked by the cruel nature and immorality he establishes upon the chapters in. novel. Wilde depicts the Victorian values that influence the behaviour, morals and mannerisms of those in his text, and suggests that society should be far less concerned with temporary possessions and more focused on moral goodness. Similarly, Fitzgerald uses a post-World War One America to create the basis for his novel, focusing on the capitalist and selfish attitudes of the morally corrupt elite through Tom Buchanan and Gatsby. Both novels critique the destructive effects of materialism and hedonism, explore the transient nature of beauty and youth, delve into the masks individuals wear to conform to societal expectations, and depict the tragic consequences of unchecked desires and the pursuit of an idealized life. These works resonate artistically through their examination of moral decay, the complexities of identity, and the cautionary tales they present about the human condition. Simultaneously, both authors criticise the values capitalism upholds and its resistance to changing the status quo. Fitzgerald and Wilde were both highly educated and well-versed in political thinking, where Wilde was considered to be a witty writer, of which is reflected in multiple Fitzgerald's work. Publishing various pieces of liberal and socialist works between them, emphasising the need for society to free itself from the chains of capitalism. Both authors demand societal change by criticising the inherent bad nature (in relation to people’s different morals) that coincides with the brutal form of capitalism that these authors witnessed in their times of writing. Wilde spent his life being alienated by the upper class while Fitzgerald spent his life presenting its flaws to the American public. They had both wanted reform and they demand it in their texts, not for their sake – their lives are comfortable and unthreatened by capitalism – but for the sake of the common man and the "moral man" (Joyce, 2002). Joyce explores how their demands are not ones of self-interest or gain, but give a voice to those who do not have one. These authors are striving for and promoting an idea of socialism, or at least a reduction of the exploitation they see all around them, and they express this by criticising the capitalist system.
