He knew he was going to be trapped in this tragedy, but he did it anyway. That’s what’s so human about him. He knew the consequences and he still took the risk. He paved a path for himself that he knew he couldn’t escape. That’s what’s so incredibly tragic about the story. Gatsby looks like he is driven by ego and greed, but deep down, money and parties are just a way for him to heal his self inflicted emotional wounds. He needs the wealth to get Daisy and to finally complete his life both physically and emotionally.

The characters in this movie/book are so much more complex than we believe, especially Gatsby. Let's start with basics and the beginning. We see that Jay is extremely ambitious and that he wants a great future and life for himself doing amazing things. We all realize that life isn't just about work and success- so when Jay falls in love, he realizes that his mind will no longer be solely occupied by the drive to success. Daisy will be a part of it and his love for her will divert some of his attention. When he fails to return home, he vowes to make something of himself to her. He realizes the social situation of their love. Daisy is a wealthy woman who needs to marry to maintain the status of her family. Jay is penniless. She hears the truth and wants to call off the wedding anyway because she loves him- but reluctantly stays true to her marriage because that's what has to be done. She loves Jay, but her status and wealth is more important. Here we see an inverse. Whereas Jay's focus was aquiring wealth, he let himself go for love. Daisy was encountered with being with who she loved and chose to focus on aquiring wealth. When Daisy hears of Jay later in life and sees that he's aquired the wealth she needed, she realizes she could've had the man she loved and the wealth she desired. Jay meanwhile has been obsessed with her because he does love her. But it goes deeper.. his love for her and the fact that he lost her also develops a symbolic aspect whereas the very idea of her is what he craves. He still loves her, but now she stands for something more. This is touched on where Tom tells Jay that although he's aquired wealth and is as rich as old money, he isn't one of them nor is he an equal. When you consider that Jay lost the woman he loved to Tom simply because he had old money... That's true. And all Jay wants to do is be as rich and prominent as anybody else. His ambition is to go on and be exalted among men. But he's stuck. He's stuck on the idea of Daisy even when he gets her back. While before the two aspects were out of reach.. now he has one and still lacks the other. His idea of Daisy is one where he never lost her, where he was the only one that mattered to her while she was the only thing that truly mattered to him. It's why they don't just run away and he insists that Daisy tell Tom that she never loved him. Jay wants to rewrite the past. This is what Jay struggles with. He got the girl- he won. But he pushes too far. Like he says, as if he too realizes it- he could be a great man if only he forgot that he lost her once. Why is he stuck on losing her before? Who knows. Humans are complex. He loved her once, love is hard to move on from especially if both loved each other and only wealth stood in the way. This could explain why he wants to rewrite the past. He's wealthy now and now everything can be as it should've been. Now that he's rich, he can marry her no problem. But as Tom says... He's still not equal. Which pisses him off. Jay could also be objectifying her, however I do believe he loves her at least somewhat. The mind of the obsessed and love stricken is a maze.
@ayandak475 жыл бұрын
Jay wasn't willing to trust in Daisys love to return to her and make things work out. Instead he thought he needed money to have her when all he needed was to be there. That's the problem. Money. Old and new.. or lets say the view of how money defines someone.
@dhr12115 жыл бұрын
I think it's ego. It's the fact that he was able to accomplish going from nothing to everything and more financially. Yet unable to have Daisy drove him to be so obsessed.

“My life has got to be like this, it’s got to be keep going on”. I especially like that line too because if you heard what he says just prior about how he thinks he could have still been a great man if he could forget that he lost Daisy, it shows that even he knows that his love for her might come back and kill him. And even Gatsby feels that he may not succeed in bringing her back. I feel like this is something we all relate to. We all have that one person we love more than anything, but lost that person. And losing that person has changed us all in a horrible way whether we want to admit it or not. Many of us will say that we’re “stronger” or whatever, but the reality is, the pain of losing that special someone has made us all cynical and jaded and closed off and untrusting of others. You know, because of the pain in our hearts. Deep down, we all know it’s wrong to be this cynical and jaded and untrusting of others, but it’s really because we’re all hurting deep down. We all know deep down that we could have been a better person if we could have just forgotten about the person we lost. That we ultimately didn’t have to be like this, so cynical, so jaded, so untrusting of others. So what do we do? Well, we “move on”, because that’s what people say we should do. The whole you know, “there’s a billion people in the world” and “plenty of fish in the sea” crap. The line that Gatsby says about how his life has to keep going on, it represents us perfectly in the real world. Because that’s what we do, we find someone else who in reality is just a rebound or a replacement for the one we loved and lost, and we keep our lives going on while we silently suffer on the inside and miss that special person every day. Accepting the fact that we will never ever have that person back. Which also ties in to Daisy’s line at the beginning of the film when she tells Nick that all the best things in life fade away and never come back. Seriously, that line from Daisy at the beginning that I just mentioned and Gatsby’s lines here truly represent us all in the real world.

His life must be like a shooting star, one that flies true and can’t be stopped, and keeps going up (up as in heading towards his dream) awesome stuff

"She wanted to see him and feel his presence beside her and be reassured that she was doing the right thing after all.For Daisy was young and her artificial world was redolent of orchids and pleasant, cheerful snobbery and orchestras which set the rhythm of the year, summing up the sadness and suggestiveness of life in new tunes. All night the saxophones wailed the hopeless comment of the “Beale Street Blues” while a hundred pairs of golden and silver slippers shuffled the shining dust. At the grey tea hour there were always rooms that throbbed incessantly with this low sweet fever, while fresh faces drifted here and there like rose petals blown by the sad horns around the floor. Through this twilight universe Daisy began to move again with the season; suddenly she was again keeping half a dozen dates a day with half a dozen men and drowsing asleep at dawn with the beads and chiffon of an evening dress tangled among dying orchids on the floor beside her bed. And all the time something within her was crying for a decision. She wanted her life shaped now, immediately-and the decision must be made by some force-of love, of money, of unquestionable practicality-that was close at hand." "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald

I think the pool is a powerful symbol in Gatsby's story. In the beginning the pool is the centerpiece of his lavish parties, his secret attempts to win Daisy back. Here somewhat in the middle of the story, the pool is still clean and clear, and it looks like one of those parties has ended. The pool still looks bright and inviting. In the end, it will be much more dull, with leaves of early Autumn having fallen into it (seasons being another use of symbolism) and having lost the sparkle of early optimism when Gatsby's plan may yet work. It builds tension in the audience because we can see the light begin to fade, moving us and Gatsby toward the inexorable conclusion.

Besides he doesn't love Daisy, he loves his idea of Daisy; the money in her voice, her colonial mansion, the class and status the social climbing James Gatz aspired to have. Sent off to war, he then proceeds to love the nostalgic Daisy, idealising their month long courtship as some impeccable golden dream to cling on to throughout the war. It's just as well he loves his idea of Daisy, because the actual Daisy is a vapid, entitled, selfish personification of the American dream and the futility in chasing it.

@@mintybadgerproductions absolutely bro, but you’re over rationalising something that’s not meant to be completely rational. The story is not a warning, it’s meant to be felt, Jay is everything in the extremes, the nostalgia, loving the idea of her, irrational notions of changing the past, becoming something of himself to win over Daisy. He even says he’s only 32 and might be a great man if he never fell in love, he’s aware of it all, but there’s something beautiful about his heart and admirable about him still, despite the flaws of it all. He didn’t die sad and the lesser for his journey, he died saying her name and reach out at the green light, and if you’ve ever loved a woman so deeply in your life then you’d know exactly what the guy who commented meant. And maybe your mind and characteristics are more like Nick Caraway, but lovers and dreamers understand Gatsby wholeheartedly and get the beautiful story Fitzgerald shared. Its would be a forgettable and empty story if he accepted he’s poor and settled for someone else, it’s beautiful because of his journey and his heart.

@@LuthandoDlomo I'm guessing you've only watched the film and not read the novel, because the film really loses most of the subtext. The Great Gatsby definitely is a warning. It's not a romantic novel, it's a cynical dissection of the American Dream and social class. In the novel, Gatsby doesn't die happy, saying Daisy's name, reaching out to the green light, thinking she's called him. In the novel he's just shot in the pool. The three characters who die are all born poor and yet despite causing there deaths (Tom's affair with Myrtle leads her to run out to the car, Daisy runs over Myrtle and doesn't stop, and Tom tells Wilson that Gatsby drove the car) old money Tom and Daisy retreat from all responsibility back into their wealth and status and let the born poor destroy themselves. Lastly Gatsby doesn't become rich to win over Daisy, rather Daisy is the trophy to prove his social aspirations. He doesn't just want to be rich, he wants to be old money. Before he even meets her he had already begun to reinvent himself, changing his name to Gatsby. He pursued the American dream; that any man can reach the top. Daisy was part of the old money American aristocracy Gatsby sought to be amongst and thus she came to personify his ambition, he was not born into status, but he could marry it. When talking of first meeting her with Nick, it's notable that he goes on just as much about her house as he does her. He also says "her voice is full of money." A key theme of then novel is that this goal is unobtainable, despite Gatsby's wealth and hospitality that the old money readily enjoys, he will never be one of them and they will forever look down upon him as the "bootlegger."

You know how it hurts when you so deeply relate to a movie character like Gatsby Very recent events showed me a lot about love and people in general, its a sad ending for me this time and yet its not all sad, in fact we're still friends, GOOD friends the story behind what happened is something only specific people would understand and the rest would either call her bad things or call me a complete and utter idiot but if only i could share to you all, what i have seen trough my eyes. It would make you understand, probably

I can't relate but I empathize with Gatsby. The whole concept of love frightens me especially whenever it comes to living and planning out your: "American Dream."

I like how Nick had to hide wanting to laugh when Gatsby said Daisy had to tell Tom she never loved him but just ended up smirking and Gatsby noticed, like even he knew his claim was false deep down.

My ex girlfriend was talking to me today. She asked me “what would you do if money did not mater” I responded with “I don’t care for money. My main goal is to fall in love and have kids” she had gone on to say she wants that but money as well. All I could ever ask for is someone to love me, only then will I truly be happy.
