Throughout the novel The Great Gatsby‚ by F. Scott. Fitzgerald‚ love and money are big concepts that are shown. Love is rather superficial and not pure between Tom and Daisy.

character in The Great Gatsby claimed to be in love with someone. While reading the novel‚ one may begin to question the authenticity of any of the characters feelings.
