The Great Gatsby, a novel written by writer F. Scott Fitzgerald, tells the story of a young man, Nick, who finds himself in New York for the business link. Through the narrator Nick, Fitgerald reveals the story of a man named Gatsby and a woman named Myrtle to show the consequences of the American dream. Through these characters, F. Scott Fitzgerald conveys the message that while the American dream is valid, it can often corrupt those who pursue it because it requires a person to strive for something more (money/ materialism/objects) than what she currently has, even though these objects cannot make them truly happy, which makes those who follow the dream always unsatisfied.

Gaspby desires Daisy even though he had no imaginable way of being with her, because of her class. Despite this, Gasby still dedicates his life to being worthy of her. Gaspy had met Daisy when he was poor and unfinished. When he came to her house, Gaspby describes his emotions: "It astonished him... evoking... automobiles and dances whose flowers had barely faded." The imagery used in astonishing Gatsby with his description of Daisy's house reveals how much Gatsby is in love with Daisy's wealth and life, rather than just her. Gatsby desires the lifestyle and wealth that she has because he does not have them. Gaspy even admits his attraction to money. After Nick and Gaspy talk, Gaspy says that "his voice is full of money." The metaphor used to describe Daisy's voice reveals that Gaspy views her as an object or investment. He sees it as a way to raise his social status. He believes he can reach it like any other object. Gaspy is aware that a poor man like him cannot be with her and that his uniform hides his identity. Gatsby's worry about Daisy finding out about his social class indicates Fitzgerald's idea that an extremely wealthy person, like Daisy, cares deeply about the social class of the man she will marry. Daisy will only marry someone of the same class as her because she cares more about her family's money than the person she loves. This makes it entirely impossible for Gaspby to marry Daisy. Fitzgerald uses Gatsby's love for Daisy to capture this idea that a poor man, like Gaspy, envies what he does not have. Gatsby is corrupt and loves Daisy because of her ability to change social class, even though it won't really make him happy. Throughout the story, Fitzgerald uses Daisy to display this message by making her become a symbol of the American dream. Fitzgerald uses Daisy to show that people can't really achieve this dream, Gaspy pursues her (American Dream), but can never achieve it, even though he was determined since he was a boy. Daisy (the dream) corrupted Gasby by devoting his entire life to something he could never achieve. Gatsby's father explains to Nick that ever since Gaspy was a boy, he was determined to be great. Gaspy was great, he had had all the materialistic objects he could want, the lifestyle he envied at Daisys, but that wasn't enough (couldn't make him truly happy), he needed more. Gaspy believes and is determined to return to his life five years ago. This is of course impossible, but Gaspy doesn't care. He devotes all his..
