"Not everyone in this world has the advantages you have" In the 1920s, American society was full of money and materialism, and people were immersed in the "Coolidge boom" of postwar consumerism. In this "jazz age" when the U.S. economy soared to a "square multiple," thousands of people became followers of the American Dream. They firmly believe that anyone in the United States can live a good life if they keep fighting. But at the same time, writer Fitzgerald disagreed. Instead, he saw through the black hole of the times with sharp eyes, examining the so-called "American Dream" with moral introspection in the book "The Great Gatsby." When he discovered that the definition of a "better life" was "the material enjoyment of pure gold," the lost writer could only criticize, fight, and change with meager strength.

Although Gatsby has achieved his dream, prosperity will only highlight his loneliness and emptiness. He bought the entire Hua Mansion, gave the moth-like men and women starlight, and watched indifferently at their whispers and dance moves. (William Shakespeare, Hamlet, parting words) All his efforts were to regain the love he had lost due to poverty, Dexi. In the power world of this young girl, the light song and dance are non-stop all day long, and the sound and color of dogs and horses are continuous all year round. "Sachs spoke of the blues of the pen song, and all kinds of dancing shoes kicked away the shiny dust." She abandons Jay, who was once penniless, but knowing that she does not love, the other party is looking for Tom Buchanan in Willow City. Because of her euphemistic voice and blue eyes filled with the copper stench of money. But sadly, Gatsby, who wants to save Daxi again, did not expect to end all his dreams in an accident. (William Shakespeare, Hamlet,) Daisy drove and killed Buchanan's government, Meadow, but Tom and Daisy shirked their responsibilities and shrunk into a lump of money and a huge cold film shell, leaving the others to clean up everything that had been destroyed. Meadow's husband loses his mind, and the crazy and wrong pistol ends Teacher Gatsby's life. People who come on time every week at funerals, who drink Jay's family banquets for free, the celebrities in Jay's ballroom who laugh at his origins, origins, and dressing style, and none of his friends who have materialistic desires and money have come. (David Ash, Northern Exposure, Money) Like Nick Callaway, who doesn't judge the character of others, told Gatsby, those gleaming bastards don't add up to you either. That's all there is to it.
Nick also left because he saw in Gatsby the dirt behind this superior life. It also made me doubt the pursuit of my dreams. Gatsby's death gave him a clear view of the sweltering world and dealt Nick a heavy blow. If the pursuit of the "American Dream" is to exchange inner purity and honesty, does that make sense? Can you attain true happiness even if you do have wealth? Obviously, this is impossible, but how many people can stick to their inner dreams like Gatsby? The perseverance of dreams is precious, and material life has its importance. But if even the spirit of perseverance is empty, what's the point?
Ostensibly, Gatsby is another living example of the realization of the American Dream. But his ideal is not to realize his "American Dream," but to overflow with champagne and lively ballrooms that only highlight his loneliness and emptiness. He bought the entire Hua Mansion, gave the moth-like men and women starlight, and watched indifferently at their whispers and dance moves. (William Shakespeare, Hamlet, parting words) All his efforts were to regain the love he had lost due to poverty, Dexi.

We must remember that the ideal cannot rely on nothingness but on the ground, and the brilliance is only a moment, and the demise lasts forever
