Why is he trying so hard to reunite with her? At first, Daisy's character for the reader is unclear the imagination of Gatsby draws her as the most beautiful, most impeccable girl. It's worth considering Jay Gatsby's feelings for Daisy Buchanan. For the full happiness, he lacks Daisy, and he is as unhappy as she is, and as Tom Buchanan. Finally, Gatsby, he did everything himself, at his disposal is a whole castle, he arranges parties for the whole of New York.

Daisy confesses to Nick at the very beginning of the story that her life is boring and joyless: her husband does not like her, she knows perfectly well about his mistress, she does not care for her daughter's upbringing, but apparently all the attributes of the owner of the American dream are available such as a rich husband, a beautiful house, outfits. But is he happy? No he can not be satisfied only with Daisy, and although he enjoys her company in public and feels strong proprietary feelings toward her, the company of social-born Myrtle Wilson is much closer to him. Tom has a wife of unearthly beauty, wealth and noble origin. The main characters of the film, besides the narrator, Nick Carraway, have everything that goes into the notion of the American dream. But, as it turns out, this does not make them happy. The American dream is one of the main components of the meaning of the "Great Gatsby." So, people no longer strive for personal success now they just want to make money, spend it and consume it. The Image of Daisy and the American Dream In the book, we see that the Buchanan, Gatsby, and all other wealthy inmates of New York are spending their fortunes in absolutely unthinkable ways.

The twenties were a real consumption boom, a time when huge sums of money were descended on completely unnecessary things and entertainment. Such new wealthy people in one way or another connected with crime in the postwar years compete with aristocrats like the Buchanan couple in ways to spend money. This is an underground trade through which Jay Gatsby earned his millions.

After the introduction of the Dry Law a new way to make money appeared. But if earlier success was inextricably linked with work, efforts, now the American dream has acquired a completely different shade. From the pre-war era, this generation inherited the notion of an "American dream," it is a dream of personal happiness and success, wealth and prosperity. In 1918 the First World War ended, and yesterday's young fighters are looking for their place in the tumultuous life of megacities.
