People pursuit their dream of becoming wealthy, which is not only drive their lives forward, but in some situations over the edge of healthy or even to their deaths. The main characters Jay Gatsby and Willy Loman from both F. Scoot Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby and John Steinbeck’s Cannery Row dedicate their entire lives to pursuit of their dreams. Gatsby and Willy are the examples how the error of the American dream ultimately leads them to the miscarriage of their dreams. The desire for a better social class, sumptuous life, and win over a girl whom he loves, Daisy, are what lure him to unhappiness.
