The Great Gatsby'

Dreams as possessive & controlling adrenaline

Considering the perspective of which Fitzgerald wrote the novel The Great Gatsby, he interpreted many different points of views considering the American dream. In the case of the novel as a whole, Fitzgerald story shows a tragic by demonstrating Gatsby’s relationship with Daisy to be impossible, due to the fact that he ends up dieing. Gatsby perused the dream for which he waited for five years, and that would never give op on. Gatsby also tried the most obsessive way of getting Daisy to notice he was back, and it was by throwing all the luxurious parties in order to get Daisy back. Myrtle in the other hand had a dream to move out west with he husband. Wilson was admiring tom for having what was missing in his life, but never though of what to do to gain it back, until he noticed he was loosing her. The accidents and tragedies are mainly how in The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald demonstrates that dreams can become possessive of you when you become determined to follow them, but sooner or later lead you to absolute solitude or even death.

If every person would be giving a signal that would let you know constantly know what to do in Gatsby‘s position, Gatsby would have never died and became the hero of the Novel instead of a fool. To accomplish dreams you have to seek for the quick possibilities that are opened, and not try the obvious. An example of an obvious way to attract Daisy would be when Gatsby stared to through the night parties to see if people would start speaking of him and hopefully she would come and try to renew their long lost relationship. What probably in a obvious way that led him to think that there was still hope for him to still get her back into his life, was when nick said “I sat there, brooding on the unknown world, I thought of Gatsby’s wonder when he first picked out the green light at the end of Daisy’s dock” (Fitzgerald 189). Gatsby’s wonders for what the green light meant lead him to thinking it was a sign telling him to go on and go for his goals, but he resulted to be wrong because he later on found out that Daisy was married to a man named Tom. Because he used Gatsby’s tragic life as an example Fitzgerald demonstrates that dreams can become possessive of you when you become determined to follow them and can completely destroy you.

Following dreams have several ways to be accomplished, on way was how Myrtle decided to become the other woman in a rich mans life to hopefully on day go west and reset her life as new with a man named Tom. Myrtle as a woman that live with Mr. Wilson, and had a job as a mechanic and lived in a apartment located on top of the garage that he worked at, hade sufficient reasons to leave him for Tom. Myrtle's lifestyle and budget gives her no hope of her dreams ever being accomplished with a man like Wilson, which gives her enough reason to become the other woman in the life of Tom, and all to hopefully one day move west. Wilson noticing that he is little by little loosing his wife Myrtle, decides to insist Tom to give him the opportunity to buy from him the new car, but Tom investigates by asking him,”‘ what do you want money all of a sudden?' 'I’ve been here to long. i want to go away. My wife and I want to go west"(Fitzgerald 130). Wilson was determined not to loose Myrtle therefore would do as she said; this was another version of the American dream described by Fitzgerald to show that you're a fool to follow dreams that are virtually impossible because he had no money.

The process of dream accomplishing sometimes would seem like they are finally abstained. Gatsby once thought he had accomplished his dreams when Nick said, "I called up Daisy from the office next morning and invite her to tea. 'Don’t bring Tom' I warned her"(Fitzgerald 88). Later on when Gatsby and Daisy meet they didn’t have much to say, but after a while Daisy said, "'we haven't meet for many years,' said Daisy. 'Five years in November'"(Fitzgerald 92). The chatting between Gatsby and Daisy made Gatsby gain hope in getting he back, but little did he know that she was married and have hade a daughter with her husband Tom. Gatsby was astonished to know that Daisy had all ready moved on. Gatsby hade no choice but to confront Tom with the truth that he thought was correct. Gatsby thought Daisy never loved Tom enough to not go back with him. Fitzgerald continued to demonstrates his readers that sometimes it may seem like we're getting close to accomplishing the dream, but in the end it its just a hope light that would later fade away and fool you, and sometime become deadly. Dreams can be deadly because Myrtle in desperate need to pursued her own dream what appeared to her to be Tom on the road got her get ran over by a car, died and explained as, "they hade torn open her shirtwaist still dap with precipitation they saw her left breast was swinging loose like flap and there was no need to listen for the heart beneath"(Fitzgerald 145). Fitzgerald continued to demonstrates his readers that sometimes it may seem like we're getting close to accomplishing the dream of our lives, but in the end it its just a hope light that would later fade away and fool you, and sometime become deadly.

Taking in consideration that we student grasp ideas, methods and reasons for which we go to school, demonstrates that Fitzgerald would be totally wrong, due to the fact that we are all in school to hopefully one day be a business man or a good lawyer. Dreams can be a bad idea to follow if and only if you know you’re giving everything up to accomplish this dream, which is never a go idea because of what happened to Gatsby. My personal believe is that no one is a fool for being adamant to accomplish a goal in life. Fitzgerald's just saying that is pointless to try to get what you once let go of, in this case Daisy’s love. Fitzgerald in The Great Gatsby demonstrates that dreams can become possessive of you when you become determined to follow them, and that they lead you to absolute solitude or even death.
