Authoritative critic Harold Bloom pointed out how ridiculous the idea is, “What more colossal hubris can “a son of God” commit them to tinker with the temporal order of the universe! To fix the time and reinstate thus the past in the present( as though the interim were unrecognized and life has passed unlocked), to wipe the slate clean and begin anew – that is Gatsby’s illusion.”(Bloom57)Additionally, these days, many critics believe that the love story of Gatsby and Daisy is based on Fitzgerald’s own experience, his marriage to Zelda. The critic Greenfield writes: “This was the romantic and realistic Fitzgerald writing of his marriage, without truly understanding Zelda’s needs”(Greenfield 80). The same issue also appears in Gatsby’s relationship: does Gatsby really understand Daisy’s desire? The answer should be no. While Gatsby acts as a tragic hero who satisfies for his so-called true love, Daisy tends to be a realistic and independent girl who knows how to protect herself. Daisy clearly understands that the past could not be repeated and what she really needs is a carefree life. She was once in a struggle for her worthless poor love after Gatsby
