How does Gatsby’s past affect his present life and the theme? In the story “The Great Gatsby” the theme is the American Dream and if it is even a real and attainable dream or if it's all just made up. In Gatsby's past he was in poverty and he was very poor barely being able to afford essential items. Gatsby grew up penniless in North Dakota, for many years he was tremendously poor.
Gatsby’s Tragedy: Falling for a Minx The Great Gatsby, like the Great Houdini, is an illusionist. Similar to the Great Houdini, the Great Gatsby has a tremendous rise to fame and an outrageous reputation. Jay Gatsby's tragic flaw does not seem horrendous at first when compared to Willy Loman, Macbeth, and other tragic characters in literature, but his love for Daisy shows that the power of love outranks all other flaws. During Gatsby's youth, he met a girl named Daisy, who he immediately fell for.
Gatsby is responsible for his ultimate demise. Gatsby tends to get hooked on people and emotions very quick and becomes obsessive with them. Daisy is one of these people. Everything that Gatsby does is for Daisy; without her influence, Gatsby never would have gotten more wealthy and purchased all of the things that conveyed his wealth. In fact, the only reason Gatsby is involved with such sketchy business is to get money to impress Daisy by purchasing his large mansion and other small details like his many expensive shirts.
In the great gatsby, love for each other makes them unreliable. “ I have an idea that Gatsby himself didn’t believe the call from Daisy would come.” Gatsby was patient on the call but wasn’t absolute he was going to receive a call for Daisy that day. Although Gatsby was not the one to run over Myrtle,Gatsby would have taken the blame in a heartbeat because he loves Daisy,Which was the leading factor to Gatsby's unfortunate death. Gatsby and Daisy's love was an unusual kind of love because Daisy loved Gats with Tom, although Daisy was married to Tom.
In the renowned narrative Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Jay Gatsby is murdered by George Wilson. However, despite Mr. Wilson pulling the trigger that led to Gatsby's demise, no one should place all of the blame on him only. Gatsby's death can be attributed to a chain of several events. His murder can also be traced back to Tom and Daisy Buchanan, Myrtle Wilson, and even Gatsby The critical incidences that led to Gatsby's demise were Tom's and Myrtle's affair, Gatsby's affair and obsession with Daisy, Myrtle's murder, and Mr. Wilson's eventual shooting of Gatsby. These incidences all have different causes and effects.
In the case of Mr. Gatsby’s downfall, it is in my opinion that even though he was a pretty dishonest and deceiving person his death was not directly his fault. The actions that preceded his death were all caused by Tom Buchanan. The genius in this plot is that even though Gatsby didn't directly cause his death he definitely played a big part in setting it in motion. My first advice to gatsby is to leave other peoples wives alone, its simple if you don't want to get shot don't mess with married women. It held true in this story that if you do as gatsby does one way or another you will receive consequences, even if it's from the wrong person.
They say that money is the root of all evil. Gatsby's downfall definitely had to do with his finances. All of Gatsby's wealth was followed by problems that the average person would never have. Gatsby is most accountable for his own actions but there were three other people I believe play a part in his downfall. Dan Cody,Daisy,and Gatsby's parents also influenced his life negatively and caused problems in his life.
The entrance of Mr. Gatz showed us how much Gatsby’s dad really loved him as a son, even after Gatsby ran away from home to reach the success he desired in order to become the concept he wanted to be as a person. With his honest reactions, it seems that Mr. Gatz was proud of his son to the very end. He knew that Gatsby was going to end up being destined to something great and as he reacts to his son’s mansion, his theory was proven right. I guess Nick isn’t the only one who really admired Gatsby’s intentions and dreams. It seems that Nick couldn’t believe that Gatsby was gone, gone before he could have fulfilled what he wanted to be and all the dreams that he could have done if he lived longer.

The Great Gatsby, a novel written by F. Scott Fitzgerald, is filled with characters who throughout the story revel in the luster of wealth. However, throughout the story, it seemed to be that the only events that occurred were these characters doing various activities with their wealth. Upon the start of the book, I pondered to myself, inquiring whether or not the story would pick up at all. Furthermore, I was hoping that it would garner my interest by providing something relatable and compelling to recapture my attention; however, it now appears that it was fate for me to be utterly disappointed with the plot and never to become engrossed within the novel as I wished.
