"I wouldn't ask much of you," I ventured. “You can't repeat the past.” This is what Nick Carraway thought of Gatsby's dream of love with Daisy. The novel The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald demonstrates Jays Gatsby's American dream. Gatsby's American dream was not to get rich, have a big mansion, or become someone important. In fact, it was to get Daisy, the love of his life, back from Tom Buchanan, her husband. He ignored any inclination that he was overtaking his American dream. Gatsby believed that he could fix the past just like it was before with him and Daisy. Fitzgerald reveals Gatsby as a fighter willing to achieve his American dream despite any objections by getting money, not caring about reputation, and ignoring morals and ethics. Jay Gatsby turns into a rich person, like the king of the Qing Dynasty. Since Gatsby was a poor man, to get Daisy's attention, he decided to get rich. "The one on my right was a colossal affair by any standards: it was a faithful imitation of some Hôtel de Ville in Normandy, with a tower on one side, brand new under a thin beard of raw ivy, and a swimming pool of marble, and more than forty acres of lawn and garden,” (5). This was Gatsby's huge, luxurious mansion that he purchased to impress Daisy with his wealth. Daisy was a gold digger, so Gatsby wanted her to be drawn to him, like moths seeking the light. Not only did he want to impress her, but he wanted to be closer to her. “Gatsby bought that house so that Daisy was right across the bay,” (78). This shows that Gatsby wanted to be closer to Daisy so he could see her often. Jay Gastby is like a convict who doesn't care about his reputation. Doesn't she take into account the rumors circulating about her personal account... middle of paper......?" he shouted. "She only married you because I was poor and she was tired of waiting for me. It was a terrible mistake, but in his heart he never loved anyone but me!" (130). This shows that Gatsby was an optimistic person, who confronted Tom and told him the truth about how he felt about Daisy. Gatsby did not he did It didn't matter if she was married, he broke moral rules to get what he wanted In conclusion, Gatsby was described as a fighter, who fought for his American dream regardless of whether it broke the moral principles He became rich for Daisy, he didn't. He didn't care if his reputation would be compromised, and he definitely didn't care about his morals or ethics. No one believed in Gatsby, but as long as he had faith in himself, that was all that mattered to him he , even though Daisy never got back with Gatsby, that didn't stop Gatsby from achieving his American dream.
