In the book, The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, the character Gatsby is presented to you as an example of the American dream. The dream of the time was to become wealthy and to marry the woman of your dreams, and this is exactly what Gatsby dreamed of. Fitzgerald showed you throughout the book how Gatsby was used by people and how he was even used by the woman that he had devoted his entire life to. Fitzgerald also used Gatsby to show us other things, like how reckless the rich are at the time. The character Gatsby is developed so that the reader can feel compassionate for him and realize that the American dream, like his own, is very fragile and certain people have an utter disregard for them.
The dreams of many people at this time were the same. ...
Gatsby throws tons of lavish parties with all of high society as guests so that he can attract the eye of his beloved Daisy (Fitzgerald 43). ... Gatsby sets up an appointment at Nicks with those two and Daisy, and after that the affair starts(Fitzgerald 87). Daisy sees that Gatsby has devoted his whole life to her when she sees the pictures and newspaper clippings with her in them at Gatsbys house and she decides that she wants a little more excitement in her life.
