Gatsby, trying his best to attain her love, fails as fate becomes a problem as Wilson murders Gatsby. After Gatsby’s death, Daisy pretends like nothing happened between them moving on with her life. As long as she still had her money she did not care what happened to him. Gatsby truly loved her but she never realized it because of her desire for lavish living and constant happiness. She does whatever she can to forget Gatsby so she can live rich and happy.
Jay Gatz or later to be called Jay Gatsby, also had his own American Dream he was in pursuit of. Daisy Buchanan was Gatsby’s American Dream. When Gatsby first meets Daisy, he’s not wealthy. Jay Gatsby soon goes off to war and doesn’t speak to Daisy for years. He soon sees an opportunity to rekindle his once deep love for Daisy once Nick Carraway moves next door.
The narrator says, “ He had deliberately given Daisy a sense of security; he let her believe that he was a person from much the same stratum as herself –that he was fully able to take care of her. As a matter of fact, he had no such facilities.” (pg.149). Gatsby feels that the only way to win Daisy over is by creating a lavish life full of money and beautiful people. He believes that by attaining this lifestyle, he is worthy of her love. Gatsby dedicated himself to winning Daisy, which leads him to gain millions of dollars, buy an ostentatious mansion, and hold weekly parties.
He was wrong. While his wealth led him closer to Daisy, he never won her back. He wants “too much” (132). His desire to have it all, the money, class, power, and Daisy, no matter the cost, has corrupted his spirit. His past is filled with illegal activity and cheating, and there is nothing he can do to erase it.
His character develops the most during the course of the movie. Most of his behavior and mistakes influence the family greatly, but his delayed trip to adulthood makes him a sort of the champion in the last scene. Walter believes that money can purchase the contentment of his family; therefore, he is unable to take on the necessary roll needed for being the head of a household. He is the main character in this movie and has the force within the family as the “man,” to alter the path of their lives. He showed very little emotional leadership and financial responsibility, additionally, he depends on money to meet his family’s needs and thinks that “life is money,” more than he trust in his momma and family.
( ) Of all the things Gatsby had done for these leaches of people, after he died, no one wanted to be associated with Jay Gatsby. Nick felt ashamed for Gatsby because he did all these great things for his guest; he invited them into his house without question and looked out for them, but none returned the favor by honoring him at his
Either she was too weak to figure out her situation, or a lifetime of having everything handed to her made her simply not want to. Tom and Daisy left the very next day. And through how a stressed Daisy ran over Tom's mistress, Myrtle, causing her husband, George Wilson, to shoot Gatsby out of grief and confusion, it caused his death too. It still wouldn't have mattered if he hadn't died-Daisy and Tom still would've left. His dream of reliving the past was all he really had.
Her husband then murders Gatsby. Being murdered is Gatsby’s fate, and it shows that his dream cannot be accomplished. As hard as he tried, he could never accomplish his goal. He couldn't call Daisy his own and Tom stays with her. Gatsby tried as hard as he could.
When Gatsby returned home, he did whatever he could to win Daisy's heart back and earned money and riches. Nick, Gatsby's neighbor, did the favor of reuniting him with Daisy but after all the time they spent together at his mansion, he still wanted more from her. He expected her to tell Tom that she has never loved him, and leave him, but she couldn't. She loved Tom and she'd be lying if she said she didn't. Daisy couldn't give the love that Gatsby expected from her.
