Since I genuinely enjoyed reading The Great Gatsby and felt the elements of the American Dream deeply woven between its lines, I wanted my first review to be about this novel. The language is simple yet powerful, which makes the story flow effortlessly and makes it very hard to put the book down. This was a reading experience I truly enjoyed. At times, I felt deeply saddened by Gatsby’s quiet loneliness hidden within his glamorous life, and I was very happy to see his friendship with Nick develop slowly and warmly, almost like a flower blooming.
Even though Daisy’s actions towards the end frustrated me quite a bit, I still found it difficult to hate her. I think she is a very realistic character who reflects the challenges of being a woman in that era. Through Daisy, Fitzgerald quietly but effectively portrays the element of opportunism within the American Dream. At first, Myrtle Wilson seems like the typical character who represents this idea. However, by the end of the novel, Daisy Buchanan, who initially appears innocent and kind, chooses the path that benefits her the most. This shows that she is not simply a passive female character, but rather a dynamic and complex opportunist.
Still, I felt truly sorry for Gatsby and his love. Seeing a man who was willing to risk everything for his dream end up betrayed like this was heartbreaking. The fact that his death was just as quiet and unnoticed as the loneliness he lived with made it even more tragic. Gatsby, who constantly symbolizes ambition and growth, dies in what could be seen as a tragic failure, making his story feel tragically similar to the fate of the American Dream itself.
