ysis of Gatsby’s American Dream and the reason it breaks.
In the novel, if Daisy was not born in a rich family, it is impossible for Gatsby to fall in love with her. On the other hand, if Gatsby doesn’t lie to Daisy that he is rich enough to afford her a better life, Daisy would not have been in love with him, either. Through illegal trade of alcohol, Gatsby becomes a millionaire and he can give Daisy an extravagant life easily. And Daisy falls in love with him again. However, the time Gatsby is murdered mistakenly, and all his wealth doesn’t mean anything to Daisy ever after, Daisy, with her husband, goes traveling happily. As Yu Dan points out, it means that Gatsby’s American Dream is broken. (Yu Dan, 2006, 4:3)There is nothing left to him, and he doesn’t win Daisy’s love till the end of his life.
Zhang Tianjing points out that the reason for the fall of Gatsby’s American Dream is that their love is based money, and material needs are the premise of their love. (Zhang Tianjing, 2004, 3:2)It is the money Gatsby has that Daisy really loves. Actually, it is the truth that money is necessary to the life of every human being; without money, no one can live a normal life any one day, and it needs more money to live a better life.
Therefore, based on the analysis above we can reach at a conclusion that love and money in reality has a close relationship.
