Gatsby's Personality Leads to His Tragic Death

Gatsby exemplifies an individual who can not always get what he or she yearns for. He possesses more than millions of people have combined, yet is still not satisfied. There is only one thing that Gatsby is destined to have, and that is Daisy Buchanan’s unconditional love. Hence by the name, she is married to another man: Tom Buchanan. The madness begins before Daisy gets married when she shares a kiss of a lifetime with James Gatz. Gatsby allows himself to fall in love with her, and from that moment on, all of his life decisions and daily problems are stimulated by Daisy, and framed around her life. Some may consider Gatsby to be an extreme stalker or nutcase, but in reality Gatsby simply has faith in

Is Tom most responsible for Gatsby's death? Daisy? Myrtle? Gatsby himself? Give reasons why or why not each character is implicated in the murder.

Because Gatsby is such a puzzling and mind-boggling character, many readers are perplexed by his actions regarding Daisy. Some think that all of the things he does throughout the novel are “stalker-ish,” while others think everything he does is charming. It could be considered creepy if Daisy’s reaction was different than what it was; Daisy loves the attention she receives from Gatsby. Based on her response to Gatsby in the novel, it is evident that she is still in love with him too. Daisy loving him back is proof that Gatsby is a romantic man, NOT a creepy stalker.

The novel The Great Gatsby was written by F. Scott Fitzgerald in 1925. The novel is set in the 1920s in New York. The main character, Jay Gatsby, is on a journey to achieve acceptance in society. Fitzgerald uses motifs to emphasize that the characters Tom, Daisy, and Myrtle are indirectly responsible for Gatsby’s death.

However, from the description of the novel, also from the eye contact and emotional expression of Gatsby in the movie, it can be easily found that Gatsby really loves Daisy the girl. She is the goddess in his heart all the time. It seems that there is a deep gap between Gatsby and Daisy. He cannot forget his top girl all the time and he even firmly believed that he is able to draw Daisy’s heart back as long as he can possess a huge amount of

Without Daisy, Gatsby feels lost.”And what is more I love Daisy too. Once in awhile I go off on

There is a fine line between love and lust. If love is only a will to possess, it is not love. To love someone is to hold them dear to one's heart. In The Great Gatsby, the characters, Jay Gatsby and Daisy Buchanan are said to be in love, but in reality, this seems to be a misconception. In The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald portrays the themes of love, lust and obsession, through the character of Jay Gatsby, who confuses lust and obsession with love. By the end of the novel however, Jay Gatsby is denied his "love" and suffers an untimely death. The author interconnects the relationships of the various prominent characters to support these ideas.

Despite being rejected by Daisy, Gatsby is still obsessed with Daisy’s love. Gatsby says it

I believe that Gatsby is still in denial with Daisy’s love. He wants the Daisy that once loved him instead of the Daisy she is now. After all the Daisy he wanted only loved him any nobody

Many consider The Great Gatsby a beautiful love story. A literary review site, for example, says about Fitzgerald’s most famous work: “The Great Gatsby is probably F. Scott Fitzgerald 's greatest novel […] Gatsby is really nothing more than a man desperate for love”(The Great Gatsby Review). Popular opinion paints Gatsby as such: A man desperate for love, devoid of any evil. But a closer look uncovers a new side of Jay Gatsby because Gatsby, underneath his glorious façade, is a sociopath.

Gatsby has always been in love with Daisy. Since the day he met her, roughly five years ago from where the book starts. He fell in love and Daisy promised that she would wait for Gatsby to return from war, and that they would reunite and love happily together. Gatsby’s goal is getting Daisy back.

In the Great Gatsby the feelings of Jay Gatsby to Daisy is love, wealth, and happiness. Although Daisy loves him, Gatsby’s love for Daisy is much more intense. Gatsby shows his love by returning from war, he bought the house across from her, and he threw those enormous parties hoping she would come. He even loved her more than her own husband. In The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald shows the true feeling Gatsby has for Daisy which is love.

Gatsby's selfish desires are what had brought him to invite Nick to one of his not so exclusive parties; the reason for his extravagant parties in the first place were because he hoped Daisy would walk in one day. Daisy's memories of Gatsby are more abstract and clouded, while Gatsby has been so enthralled her he still recalls the exact day they parted.This displays how much more infatuated Gatsby is with Daisy. What Daisy was mostly fascinated with was money, which Gatsby had wanted to ensure she would never be without, because that is what set them apart in the first place. Not only does Jay want Daisy to leave her husband, he wants her to tell Tom that she never loved him. Although she tries to do so, she ultimately breaks down because it is not the truth. Nick pleads to Jay not to ask more of Daisy than she can give. Jay is so desperate that he will not accept anything less than a complete rewriting of their history, because nothing less than complete possession of Daisy will satisfy him. His love is utterly obsessive. Gatsby's inability to deal with reality sets him outside the norm and, eventually, his holding on to the dream leads to his

He weaved his endless love for her, into his vision of the american dream and decided form that moment on see that dream out in order to win Daisy back. In the 1920's many
