Other people would take deal with the consequences of their actions. Their money protected and insulated them from the consequences of their actions, no matter what they did. Daisy and Tom are examples of callous people who are given to excesses and are not accountable for anything. In Carroway’s view, Tom and Daisy are “careless people,” frivolous, corrupted by greed, indulging in the empty pursuit of pleasure and untold wealth. To Carroway, Tom and Daisy are guilty of using people and he, Nick, George and Myrtle Wilson are all victims of being used by Tom and Daisy.

Candy was the elderly person in the novel who feared for his future. This was because he was aging and showing signs of weakness, and he wasn’t sure if the boss was going to let him keep his job for much longer. Candy did however have compensation for losing his arm, which he had kept saved encase he needed it.
He is still left unfulfilled, his money unable to substantiate his love for Daisy. She still went off with Tom and Gatsby is left there, his whole effort in vain. So it is clear through Gatsby’s plight, that money does not make a difference and is ultimately inconsequential in the value of one’s life. The irony in Owl-Eyes’ comment after Gatsby’s funeral, calling Gatsby “’the poor old son-of-a-bitch’”(175) illustrates this a little further. Gatsby tries all of his

Due to General Zaroff’s savage doings for satisfaction, he seems to have lost his humanity and de-valued human life far more than the Villagers and their customs did.

In “The Lottery,” they mention “that over in the north village they're talking of giving up the lottery.”(Jackson, paragraph 32). Old Man Warner calls the north village a “pack of fools” stating that, that is not the way to go. He believes they must carry on this tradition and he never has come to realized how awful it is.

Victor’s action to run away caused William’s death and made Justine look like the killer when the evidence was planted from the blood. I see it as Victor was never going to be truly happy because there was so much he really didn’t know and could not handle the whole situation. People during the Enlightenment tried to handle many things on their own but certain things should just not be touched or you will find out the hard way. It was like finding a million dollars in the street and keeping it thinking no one would ever trace back to finding you because it was something that huge. He paid his price and it was a great one, the role of God is not to be played
Gatsby doesn’t achieve his wealth through honest hard work. He does it by bootlegging and crime. This story is full of lying and cheating. Gatsby chased the American Dream even though it was abused and destroyed. The American Dream all the characters are chasing is ruined by reality of life.
