Gatsby is a character that everyone can relate to. Earlier
in my blog posts I mentioned that Gatsby is someone who I respect and I stand
by that to this day. Of course I don’t condone his actions with the organized
crime but I respect his ambition and his will to survive. Gatsby is like any man or woman, of course
without the obsessive side to him but you must understand what he is living
for. He wants a woman to love him and he wanted to be wealthy. I’m sure there are
thousands of people in the world that have the same dreams like Gatsby. The sad
thing is that Gatsby had the money but the money didn’t save him or protect him
from his death. He ended up in a pool
dead with no money to save him or with Daisy by his side. Daisy is what Gatsby
lived for and woke up every morning for.
Gatsby has been living in the past this whole time and chasing after a
dream or a “Green Light” that has already out ran him. Again I understand why
Gatsby has gone to the lengths he has to gain Daisy’s affection. It’s just horrible to see a man die like that
when they didn’t understand his dream.
