Although, this ‘dream’ of his was only achieved by deceitfulness and partaking in illegal activities. “He and this Wolfshiem bought up a lot of side-street drug stores here and in Chicago and sold grain alcohol over the counter.”(Fitzgerald 143). The aspiration to become wealthy in a noble manner vanishes in the desire to get to the top and impress Daisy with his newly attained social status. These attempts are all in vain. In the end, Daisy leaves Gatsby and goes off with her husband to maintain her lush lifestyle that she believes is a fulfillment of the widely sought after American dream. The author introduces a variety of ‘American dreams’ throughout the novel, presented by different individuals. Gatsby wants Daisy, Daisy wants any easy and fulsome life, and Tom wants wealth and status. The variety of dreams expresses Fitzgerald’s belief that there is no one real American Dream. People are too blinded by greediness, because “wealth doesn’t satisfy your desires; it just gives you an avenue for always craving more” (Shmoop Editorial
