Fitzgerald portrays social class as a defining factor in his writing, highlighting the disparities and tensions between the wealthy elite and those of lower socioeconomic status. Through vivid descriptions of opulent parties, extravagant lifestyles, and struggles for social acceptance, he conveys the superficiality and materialism that often accompany wealth, while also delving into the unattainable allure of the American Dream for those outside the upper echelons of society.
