The world of Jay Gatsby is one that many people would yearn to live. ... If life with wealth and status were like the life of Jay Gatsby, no one would want it. All Gatsby ever wanted in his life was Daisy. ... She was his dream, the ideal woman in his eyes. ... It・s a real pity Gatsby had to live his life blind, blinded by his desire for Daisy. This desire and also his weak will power in regards to Daisy makes Gatsby live his life in a dream, thus disabling his ability to distinguish the fine line between his dreams and reality.
Gatsby・s strong will power to disregard the present pushes him to believe that things can become as they once where, rather he tries to re-create the past. During the opening chapters of this novel The Great Gatsby, Gatsby is described by Nick Carraway, the narrator of the novel and seemingly close friend of Gatsby, to be reaching towards a green light at the end of Daisy・s East Egg dock. Ironically, this light is barely visible from where Gatsby stands, let alone reachable. However, this was the only thing that could keep Gatsby going, this hope that one day he could ：regain； what he had in the past.
：The truth was that Jay Gatsby, of West Egg, Long Island, sprang from his Platonic conception of himself.
