"It was a strange coincidence," I said. "But it wasn't a coincidence at all." "Why not?" "Gatsby bought that house so that Daisy would be just across the bay." This quote is showing the true obsession Gatsby has with Daisy. It also displays Gatsby’s true wealth as he is willing to buy a house simply to be near the lady he likes. Gatsby’s true dream ,while he loves the rich lifestyle is to be with daisy again. Gatsby has achieved the traditional American dream, starting from nothing and becoming rich. However he does it in the completely wrong ways. This reminds me of the saying nice guys finish last. A saying i feel has some truth to it. Nice guys often will not do what it takes in order to get the job done and stick by those who do good
