the American Dream
Scrott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby is less a novel about lavish parties and unrequited love than it is a rofound auttosy of the American Dream .Through the tragic arc of Jay Gatsby,Fitzgerald exposes the corrosive illusion that wewalth and self-invention can buy hainess,erase the ast,and win genuine belonging.
Garsby himself is the dream personified-a man who sculpts a magnificent identity from the raw clay of his ambition.His West Egg mansion,his glittering shirts,his legendary arties are all incantations ment to conjure asingle reality-the reunion with Daisy Buchanan.Yet,herein lise the novel's central tragedy.Gatsby's dream is fatally anchored in the ast,seeking not to creat a new future but to recreate a lost ideal.He fails to see that Daisy,the golden girl,is not aprize for the worthy but asymptom of the very elite carelessness he seeks to enter.His wealth,acquired through shadowy means,grants him proximity to this world but never true citizenship.
