The Great Gatsby Paper
Fitzgerald's view of Jay Gatsby’s unique vision of the Twenties American Dream appears to be criticizing not the American Dream itself but the corruption of the American Dream.
The American Dream is based totally on the idea that any person of any race or religion working hard in life can achieve success and happiness.

Of course Gatsby is a firm believer in the American Dream of self-made success, he hasn't only self-promoted a whole new personality for himself, however he has also succeeded financially and socially. Yet the Dream which gives Gatsby the chance to “suck on the pap of lifestyles” (110; ch. 6) forces into a lonely area, isolated and alienated from society.

He stays dedicated to her even after Myrtle Wilson’s demise. Only his personal demise at the hands of the distraught Mr. Wilson thinking that Gatsby has killed Myrtle, ends His crazy obsession with Daisy.
What Fitzgerald appears to be critical in The Great Gatsby isn't the American Dream itself the corruption of the American Dream. What became for leaders like Thomas Jefferson, a belief in self-reliance and hard work has end up what Nick Carraway calls “the carrier of a enormous, vulgar, and meretricious beauty” (98; ch. 6). The energy that would have gone into the goal of noble desires has been instead changed into the capture of strength and pride, power and a very showy, even though lonely and empty, form of fulfillment.
With the destruction of Gatsby, in his loneliness and unfulfilled life we witness the future of America. Society as a whole continuity looking for power and happiness through the disgusting acquirement of the materialistic and grandness of things. All in search of a self-fulfilling yet far from reality
