.... everyone he has in his life are part of his property. This increases his ‘power’ and makes him feel as if he is truly successful. This couple, Tom and Daisy certainly contain serious corruptness due to their shallowness and self-indulgence.
Gatsby, the supposed hero of the novel, is a character that surely indicates that Fitzgerald means to denounce the righteousness of the rich. Unlike the other characters in the novel, Gatsby’s condition is related more to idealism and his faith in .....

Gatsby's whole efforts in this book are focused on trying to bring him and Daisy back to the point of time before he joined the army except this time, he has enough money for her. Gatsby says it himself (on page 111), "Can't repeat the past? Why of course you can!" Judging by Gatsby's death at the end of the novel, Fitzgerald didn't feel that such optimism was worthwhile.

“…It is what prayed on Gatsby, what foul dust floated in the wake of his dreams that temporarily closed out my interest in the abortive sorrows and short-winded elations of men.” (P.6-7)

.... look through the eyes of America’s old morality to see what the American Dream has become. Tom and Daisy Buchanan represent those who were born rich and live wealthy; they do not embody the American Dream because they did not have to work to achieve this success. Gatsby symbolizes the corruption of the American Dream because he was striving to be just like those who had money just so that he could buy happiness.
In the past, Gatsby had a love affair with the wealthy Daisy. But he could not .....

Traditionally the narrator is usually outside of the story, but in The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Nick Carraway (the narrator) is much more than that.

happy, only because Daisy and Gatsby are of two different backgrounds and pasts.
Since Gatsby is so caught up with the illusion of being with the girl of his dreams,
he will do almost anything to win Daisy’s love back and will do anything to have Daisy
be with him. Gatsby showed just how much he is willing to sacr .....
