Failure to Achieve the American Dream A perfect world does not exist. Fitzgerald knows this‚ as he shows it in “The Great Gatsby”‚ which follows the story of different people who live out their lives in certainly different ways. All the characters are aiming to be happier with their lives in one way or another. They are all chasing after their American Dream. But through their actions and past‚ they ended up worse than they were originally. Money is the center of many of the characters’ lives; however
