In The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Gatsby is the epitome of irony in a character’s life. Gatsby struggles to become wealthy during his lifetime and when he finally does, he does not know how to spend the money. ... They way in which he obtained his money was completely contradictory to the ideals and principles of the American Dream, which Jay Gatsby is so much a representation of. Although Jay Gatsby has achieved wealth and fortune, his life is a complete failure because he is unable to truly appreciate any of his life’s accomplishments and is forced to live in abandonment from the rest of the world as a result.
Jay Gatsby’s dream when he was growing up was to be wealthy an successful, but when he finally accomplishes his goal, he is unable to enjoy it. Gatsby makes an exorbitant amount of money through his “business”, but he has no one to share it with and nothing to spend it on. ... He has no family, no one close to Gatsby is living with him.
