197 Words1 Pages
In his novel The Great Gatsby, the author F. Scott Fitzgerald argues the American Dream has the power to inspire. In the novel, Jay Gatsby embodies the pursuit of an ideal not only with material wealth but also with seeking love and fulfillment. Daisy describes Gatsby’s shirts as symbolizing his material success, saying “They’re such beautiful shirts, it makes me sad because I've never seen such-such beautiful shirts before” (Fitzgerald 92). Gatsby’s undying love for Daisy and his belief that he can win her back after years of separation highlight the romantic and idealistic aspects of the American Dream. His unwavering dedication to his vision of a perfect future with Daisy inspires others to pursue their dreams, even in the face of obstacles.
