Ever since the beginning of America, everyone has had a dream. These dreams vary, everything from money, love, knowledge, happiness, and freedom. Even in the novel The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald focuses on the reality of the American Dream through characters like Daisy Buchanan, Myrtle Wilson, and Jay Gatsby.
Fitzgerald embodies the American Dream of money through Daisy Buchanan, a women of class and wealth. Daisy Buchanan achieves her dream. For instance, when Gatsby first invites Daisy and Nick over to see his house, Daisy cries over the kind of shirts Gatsby owns.

He is a character that cheats his way into the middle class, falls in love with another man’s woman, and dies for what he didn’t carry out. Jimmy Gatz died the moment he rowed up to Cody’s vessel, and a new gentleman was born – Jay Gatsby. The tale of an exploratory boyhood and wartime heroics that he himself tells is simply too preposterous to be true, but he backs it up with enough evidence to please Nick. By the end of the book, once all the puzzle pieces scattered through time are reassembled, we have a full representation of one man, spread over two images. The complete Gatsby shows a magnificent kind of determination that’s really quite mind-boggling – whether his goal is getting out of New York or reclaiming Daisy, Gatsby accomplishes them with amazing tenacity.
Throughout this novel, The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald proposes to the readers that Gatsby’s American Dream is to acquire Daisy’s love. To attain his dream, Gatsby suggested to Nick, through Jordan Baker, to invite him and Daisy over for tea. Subsequently, Gatsby would invite them to his house and show Daisy and Nick around, to simply exhibit all the collected treasures he obtained (Fitzgerald 78,79). This becomes triumphant and the two, Gatsby and Daisy, initiate an affair. All Gatsby has left to do is to free Daisy from Tom’s
