Woman in the 1920’s all married for money, and not necessarily love. Daisy thought she had love when she married Tom, but in the meantime she only had money.

The chase for the American Dream and the ideal man to be with destroyed Daisy’s happiness.
With the excess food their workers are not hungry, and will demand higher wages. The landowners want to keep their subjects in oppression because a hungry man will work for whatever he can
Even though Daisy is in love with Gatsby she marries Tom “because [Gatsby] was poor and [Daisy] was tired of waiting for [Gatsby] (137).” This shows that for Gatsby to accomplish his dream and be happy, he has to have money. Because of Daisy’s status she cannot or will not marry a person of a lower status, of which Gatsby had been until he made all of his new money. In conclusion, Gatsby’s dream and the American dream share some aspects, but they are not the same thing. The American dream is entirely focused on earning money and status to progress and change what one was in the past. Gatsby on the other hand is living in the past and cannot be happy with moving forward.

Even though he gets “moore moneye than that the person gat in monthes tweye” he still lies about his relics to receive even more money. The lies are so ridiculous that people actually believe him, especially the poor; he says that “For in his male he hadde a pilwe-beer, which that he seyde was Oure Lady veil” and he also “hadde a crois of latoun ful of stons, and in a glas he hadde pigges bones”. His constant lies are insulting towards the reader as they can see he is relying on the poor to buy his stories so that he can earn money. His “bretful of pardoun, comen from Rome al hoot” hints that he could be doing dodgy deals, highlighting his corruption in society. As the Host requests for the Pardoner to tell a story, he replies, saying that “I wol bothe drinke, and eten of a cake.” He wants food before the story.

The green light at the end of Daisy’s of all of dock represents Gatsby’s dream of being reunited with Daisy through his accumulation of wealth. Unfortunately, this desire lies within the premise that wealth and social status equals happiness. Unfortunately, he participates in criminal activities and unsavory people he must collaborate with in order to obtain his wealth to achieve his dream. I also believe that Gatsby understands that Daisy is devoted to acquiring money. This is confirmed by Gatsby saying “her voice is full of money,” her obsession with money suggests why she stays in her miserable marriage with Tom Buchanan (115).
This quote relates to the text “he receives from greedy steamship agents and "bankers," who persuade him by false promises to mortgage his home, his few belongings, and his wages for months to come for a ticket to the land where plenty of work is to be had at princely wages“. He somehow strongly believes that it is true and will benefit him because he doesn’t know much. The worst thing about the Italian immigrant was he arrives in America and knows no word of English. This is no good use of him because communication will be tough when associating with other businessmen in that area. Unlike the German, who begins learning English the day he lands as a matter of duty, or the Polish Jew, who takes it up as soon as he is able as an investment.
Tiresias is also equally disrespectful, mocking and provocative as Oedipus.

Tiresias stated to Oedipus to “live in shame with the woman you love, blind to your own calamity” suggested in (Sophocles 10). Although Oedipus is not physically blind, but Tiresias mocks the King back, because of his ignorance. At first the audience see how Oedipus
The corrupt ways in which he made his money soured the pure idea of the "real" work ethic and foreshadowed his corrupt life. Jay falls into the materialistic "trap" when he first meets Daisy. He was young and poor, and she rich; their difference in social status leads to their separation although Jay can never get over her. Daisy's materialistic outlook influences Jay enough to cause him eventually have that outlook also. At first, his excuse is Daisy, claiming the wealth is for her, so she would again be able to love him.
