THE GREAT GATSBY BY F. SCOTT FITZGERALD

Introduction
The idea of American Dream as presented by F. Scott Fitzgerald in the Great Gatsby
novel involves rising from poverty or rags to richness and wealthy. The American Dream
exemplifies that elements such as race, gender, and ethnicity are valueless as they do not
influence the ability of an individual to rise to power and richness. This American Dream makes
the assumption that concepts such as xenophobia are non-existent in America a concept that is
not true and shows vagueness of the American Dream. In his novel, F. Scott Fitzgerald uses the
Great Gatsby to demonstrate the overall idea of living the American dream. Gatsby leaves his
small village of farmers and manages to work his way up the ladder although some of the money
he uses to climb the ladder is associated with crime “He was a son of God and he must be about
His Father's Business, the service of a vast, vulgar and meretricious beauty” (Fitzgerald 6.7).
This phrase shows that Gatsby wasn’t meant for a life similar to that of his father but rather
destined for greatness. However, his dream his short-lived and he doesn’t make it to the top as
Daisy who is a symbol of his wealthy rejects her and a series of events transpire that result in his
death before he could live his American Dream alongside everyone else who was working up the
ladder to live the American Dream.
State of American Dream
F. Scott Fitzgerald proposes that the American Dream is corrupt and also a mediocrity
that anyone in America can rise from rags to riches as in the real sense, these poor people who
make efforts to enter the riches world get rejected by the ‘old money’ crowd....
