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).

This is just one of the reasons love can’t be bought.

Why of course you can!” This passage shows how strongly Gatsby lusts for the idea that he can repeat the time in which Daisy only ever loved him and she did not have a family of her own. 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.
