Jay Gatsby clearly embodies the American dream as well as America itself.

Through being a self-made man, and developing from rags to riches, Gatsby

symbolizes the American dream. Through his high yet false hopes and dreams,

Gatsby represents America. Gatsby did believe in the green light at the end

of Daisy's dock, and greatly admired it. In The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott

Fitzgerald, as Jay Gatsby embodies the American dream and America, his death

ultimately ties into both the dead American dream, and the tragedy of America

The supposed " American Dream" is the universal fantasy. Its main

keystones involve being successful, which of course leads to wealth and

consumption, seeming successful to others, the notion that one can relive or

forget one's past, and the basic idea that the sky is the limit. From

certain angles, Jay Gatsby is the American dream. Gatsby is a very

successful and wealthy man. Throughout the novel, we are introduced to more

the word, "Go." When Gatsby sees the green light at the end of his Daisy his

baseball is the corruption of all that is real and holy about America, and

to obtain whatever he wants, which is one thing and one thing only; Daisy.

"green breast" of a new world. Beneath Gatsby's consumption and corruption

opportunity lay everywhere. They were simply in awe, and in wonder of this

car, or his ridiculously huge home. Also, Gatsby hosts parties at his home
