    The document provides cultural context for three different works: The Great Gatsby, A Doll's House, and Juno. [1] The Great Gatsby is set in Long Island and New York City in the 1920s during the Prohibition era, with distinct social classes. [2] A Doll's House is set in a Norwegian town circa 1879 during the Victorian era, where people lived privately behind closed doors and the middle class struggled to better their status. [3] Juno is set in the fictional town of Dancing Elk, Minnesota in small town America, focusing on locations related to the characters and how society frowned upon teenage pregnancy but accepting of divorce and single motherhood.
