reality relates to Gatsby in another way, in that Gatsby couldn’t see that there was no true love between him and Daisy. The article Themes and Construction: The Great Gatsby highlights this exquisitely by saying, “Since there is no real love between Gatsby and Daisy in The Great Gatsby, there is no real truth to Gatsby’s vision” (Themes and Construction GG 1). The vision that the statement is referring to is Gatsby’s dream that he and Daisy would end up together after all the years they had been apart, even after Daisy had already gotten married to someone different. The idea that there is no love between Gatsby and Daisy goes hand in hand with the appearances and reality theme. From what it appears in the story Daisy is into getting back with Gatsby, but when it came down to it she did not.

Even after Mercutio 's death and Romeo 's banishment, Friar Laurence did not see the destructiveness of Romeo and Juliet 's marriage. Instead, he continued to attempt to keep Romeo and Juliet together. The plan he concocted for this, however, was shortsighted, poorly thought out, and risky. Friar Laurence devised the plan in haste and in desperation because Juliet was there in the friar’s presence threatening suicide rather than marry Paris. “Unless thou tell me how I may prevent it.

They may not show it, but it changes who they are. The war becomes the soldiers' home, and when or if they do go home, they will never be the same.

This shows how illogically Gatsby’s obsession with Daisy has made him think. “‘I’m going to fix everything just the way it was before,’ he said, nodding determinedly. ‘She’ll see.’” (The Great Gatsby page 110) Through this quote in the book, readers can see that Gatsby sincerely believes that he can repeat the past. His longing for repeating the past has taken over his logical way of thinking giving him the idea that repeating the past is possible.

Romeo found no alternative reason to live if he could not be with her, and planned to kill himself. This was one of the most important pieces of information that determined the future of the young lovers, but was not interpreted in a conscientious

However, at the slightest chance of finding him, Porthos had left all that he held dear to fly after the hope that his father would live up to the noble fairy tale he

His only goal is to gain her love and he lives through that in the past. Gatsby is devoted to accomplish his goal to get Daisy meanwhile his american dream drifts away. He ends up alone because Daisy doesn’t return the same affection and he no longer contains the american dream. His image of Daisy grew in his imagination, leading herself to not be able to live up to the dreams that he has established in his mind.

Gatsby knew that Daisy felt something for him and was willing to do whatever it took to be with her, even if it meant going against her husband, “your wife doesn’t love you, she never loved you, she loves me “Fitzgerald 73).

Living means nothing to him because of his unrequited love; this being all due to his total devotion to a singular purpose.
