The American Dream

The American Dream is so significant in the Great Gatsby, by the time period where patriotism was signature, and when things were changing so people wanted to splurge, purge and live every day as if it were their last. In the Great Gatsby, all of the characters displayed some interest in the American Dream, and they fell into the drawbacks of it. Case and point, Daisy married a rich man, Tom-- money made the world go round, so a rich man would make hers, too.
