    The Working Class in Fitzgerald's "Great Gatsby" The first half of the twentieth century saw dramatic changes in the social structure of the United States. In the nineteenth century, it was relatively unusual in many parts of the country to meet a Roman Catholic - similarly odd to meet someone whose native tongue was not English.
