Daisy's Ambition In The Great Gatsby

A complete and udder success. This self motivation came from his love for daisy that made him into the person he became and because of this self motivation he achieved upward. Jay Gatsby’s love for Daisy was so consuming that he earned a fortune in order to win her back from Tom Buchanan. Nick: “It was a strange coincidence,” I said. “But it wasn’t a coincidence at all.”

Unconsciously, “Daisy” becomes huger and huger, up to become his spiritual prop. Even though Gatsby was becoming famous, he can only be used to continue making his dream. It can be said that in his fantasy, “Daisy” has been abstracted into his hope for all the better thing that he imagined. She is the fire, and she is the light. She is the meaning of his life.

Gatsby believes that his lifelong dream is almost a reality. He has a mansion, beautiful car, and lots of money. Gatsby truly believes he is living his dream. Yet, all the money in the world can’t hide the fact that Gatsby was born a poor

Daisy’s dream is to be with Gatsby like his dream is to be with her. Daisy does not achieve her dream because, when they met, he was in the army and before that, “a clam−digger and a salmon−fisher or in any other capacity that brought him food and bed” (Fitzgerald 52). She does not want to be with Gatsby right away because he is going off to war, and there is a chance that he would not return. Daisy also does not choose to be with him because she does not think he will ever be able to provide for her. Coming from a rich family, Daisy is used to that kind of lifestyle and does not want to stray from it.

The parties are to lure Daisy there and with Daisy he can earn his happiness. His wealth impresses Daisy and is overjoyed by his accumulation of wealth as well as material things. This was seen especially when Gatsby shows her his silk clothing. He believes that setting up the ‘perfect’ life will assist her in realizing her affection for him is existent. In any case, believing that money could bring back love was absurd.

Gatsby thinks of himself as a dream chaser, a person who is working hard through his life to get his beautiful memory back to him. Money is just a tool to bring his beloved girl back. People believed that his money all came from his rich family as Gatsby wants them to, which means that he was born rich. However, Gatsby actually earned the money on his own by taking high risks selling illegal alcohol. Since he knew that Daisy married a rich man, he decided never to live without money.

No matter where he went, Mr. Gatsby could find something that reminded himself of Daisy, she had changed the way he lived and thought. Gatsby wanted to be one thing he never was, he wanted to be able to say he was born rich, “He is intrigued by the promise of Daisy’s world-one which he never before experienced because of his lower class.” (A Propensity to Love…Or Not: Jay Gatsby and Daisy Buchanan are and Are Not “Women in Love”). Not only has Daisy intrigued Gatsby, but also her lifestyle, Gatsby wanted to live that way. When Gatsby thinks about his life, he is scared, “He’s terrified that he’ll always be ‘Mr. Nobody from Nowhere.’”

He was able to do that after asking Nick to invite her over for tea. But after that more obstacles came of course. She was still married to Tom, but even she did not know he was having an affair with Myrtle. The Joads first biggest obstacle was the Dust Bowl, and getting to west to California. There were so many hardships they faced to get there.

For example, on page 25, the text states,” In the

Some say that, that by playing the golden lyre he made his wife fall in love with him. All these reasons where reasons why he was so talented but only he knows why he was so talented. Orpheus was an amazing epic hero that did many great stuff with his life. He was very brave because he traveled through the underworld to save his wife. He was ethical because he risked his life to save a loved one.

Nanny wants her to have a man with money, but as Janie undergoes her marriage with Logan she finds out that the bond is more important than the money. Janie didn 't love Logan and didn 't like how he treated her. This relates to the motif of the pear tree because all Janie wants is love from a man, like how “the tree receives from the pollen-bearing bee”( Dilbeck 102).The tree represents her life and how she is looking for that special man which the bee represents. Janie’s marriage with Logan made her realize that she should not be treated like property and that she deserves better. After the marriage with Logan failed, Janie thought that Joe was the one.

It is true that Daisy had loved Gatsby once, but it was all in the past. After Gatsby left to go to war, Daisy fell in love with Tom Buchanan. The reasons why Daisy married Tom was part of her love for him and the other part is because she loves the social position she is in when she is with Tom. Gatsby failed not because he was killed, but because Daisy’s love for Tom can not be changed with material things. All of the main characters have ideas for the perfect life and none were able to achieve them.

Throughout the year I learned many things,one that stood out prominently was the pursuit of happiness. I learned that the pursuit of happiness is a difficult and dangerous path to achieve because of all the struggles to get even there. In many ways, you are not guaranteed the happiness you so wanted, no matter what path you take. One example that shows such hardships for the pursuit of happiness is The Great Gatsby. In The Great Gatsby,Gatsby did all he could just to be together with Daisy.
