Why Did The Great Gatsby Fail

Scott Fitzgerald of “The Great Gatsby”, gives his readers signs on why Gatsby will not reach fail and lost his mind in a fantasy world, insisting himself to relive the past life with his former love Daisy. Even though Gatsby is blinded by his past, he is able to gain the American Dream, to obtain the wealth and power to win Daisy’s heart back. Although he has forgotten, it has been five years since he has reunited with Daisy. When time passes, memories are made and decisions are formed to each individual's future and the Daisy he once knew he no longer can comprehend, because of his unrealistic dream. In addition, Gatsby’s does not give up and his desires do come to life when Nick brings them together, and a bond is connected not from true love but from the aspect of materialism. Lastly, Gatsby’s real life has been reviled by Tom who was jealous of his wealth and due to the pressure Daisy detached herself from the situation. Gatsby has failed to relive his past, because even though she had loved him Daisy will love wealth and social class she belongs to. Gatsby is a dreamer who never loses hope, but fails to understand when getting involved with Daisy. There are a few reasons for this assertion. To start off, They could not pursue their relationship because her life was revolved in wealth in which he lacked. He was determined to be with Daisy because he never stopped loving her and thought their love was one of
a kind. Gatsby seeks pure romance, heroism, but in fact he is delusional to not realize Daisy was also a wanted gal who was courted with plenty of men at the time when she had met him. When a person is smothered with attention their personality is shaped to be spoiled and selfish. In addition, Gatsby wanted to change his past because he wanted to be part of the “old money”, and what he lacked in the past which is himself as a person and the love of his life. He did not consider that there is always a reason why the past is the past, and repeating could be the same results. Also, Gatsby wanted to redeem himself by achieving the assets to provide Daisy that he is now able to be in her life. However, it never occurred to him that Daisy's life might have changed over the year they have not seen each other. He is pursuing his dream to be with her, because he is deeply focused on how valuable she is to him, and wants to be a part of her world. When an individual was stuck in the past, they do not enjoy living in time and consistently thinks about the past. In Chapter IV of the text, Daisy expressed drunkenly, “Tell ‘me all Daisy’s change’ her mine. Say ‘Daisy's change’ her mine!’” (Fitzgerald 80). This passage shows the true feelings for Gatsby's, but when she sobered up she got herself together to continue with the wedding. When a person is intoxicated their point of view changes in life. Daisy wanted to settle down and Gatsby's was not there for her when she needed him. Gatsby's could not be with Daisy because her interest and life changed when she became married. She cannot be selfish and leave her family for a relationship that she wishes to have, even if she's miserable she's willing to stay with tom because of her reputation. For numerous years Gatsby waited for the moment to see Daisy, but his assumptions on how his desire of being together can not be achieved.
There are several reasons for this assertion. First, Gatsby exerted hard work to gain riches, because he believed acquiring the ideal home and possessions will lure Daisy back to his life. Not only is he blinded by his dream, but he thinks being with Daisy is his only solution to his resolution to his happiness. When an individual is obsessed with an idea; they take control to pursue it until they are
satisfied.
