The Great Gatsby
Love is a strange and undefinable emotion, the concepts and ideas about love are very broad, but one thing is not: It is powerful. Love makes people vulnerable, it may seem like a bullet that pierces through your perpetuity, but what is a person without vulnerability. People are born from that passion and that is why life is an endless conquest in pursuit of that same love. The feel of it is what makes a human a human. All rationality and sanity go out the window and one is left in their original state, almost like an animal of instinct. It is an emotion that people will never be able to control.

He is so determined with this dream that Daisy’ s love and consent no longer matters, it is just his love for love. Even though he loves each her, Gatsby didn’t really know much about Daisy from the beginning, thus he is unable to realize any change in her. Daisy has become more cynical in her own words, and there is contradiction in the way Gatsby and Nick separately describe her character. Daisy, like the loosening morality of the 1920s, has become morally corrupt. She has lost the innocence of her past and instead she has gained the same mentality as her husband’s, which dictates that wealth is the only thing that separates people from each other. Daisy knows that
