"Explore the theme of race in F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel The Great Gatsby. How does the text depict
racial dynamics and attitudes of the 1920s? Consider the absence of characters of color, the
implications of this absence, and how it shapes the novel's portrayal of society. Analyze the
significance of race in relation to themes such as privilege, social class, and the American Dream.
Additionally, discuss how Fitzgerald's depiction of race reflects or challenges the historical context of
the Jazz Age.
Use textual evidence to support your arguments and consider the broader implications
of race within
the narrative."
