F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby is a story that has many different themes. Fitzgerald shows the themes he uses through his character's desires and actions. This novel deals with themes that we face in our daily lives. It has themes that concern our personal lives and themes that concern what is right and what is wrong. There are also themes that have to do with materialistic objects that we deal with on a daily basis. Fitzgerald focuses on themes of corrupt love, immorality, and the American dream to tell a story that entertains his readers. Love is a feeling between two people that brings with it many emotions, respect, commitment, trust, honesty, and many other values. In the story The Great Gatsby, the characters in their relationships violate most of these values. Tom and Daisy Buchanan got married for all the wrong reasons. Daisy says, “Well, she had less than an hour and Tom was God knows where” to Nick Caraway while they are catching up (Fitzgerald 16). This quote shows that Tom doesn't really love and care about Daisy like he should, because if he did then he would be there for the birth of his daughter. Just like Tom didn't care about Daisy, she is only attracted to him for his money, and this shows when she is unfaithful to him. Daisy eventually rekindles her relationship with her one true love Jay Gatsby. As Gatsby and Daisy's relationship grows, he pressures her to tell Tom that she never loved him. He couldn't reach that painting and shouts, "Oh, you want too much!" he shouted at Gatsby. 'I love you, you know, isn't that enough? I can't do without what is the past.' He began to sob helplessly. “I loved him once, but I loved you too” (Fitzgerald 132). The… center of paper… throughout the novel and the presence of many different characters make them fun for readers to read. Fitzgerald shows in this novel the difficulties that people would have in their daily lives. The way the characters handle their problems in the novel is the same way most people would handle them in the real world. Works Cited Fitzgerald, F. Scott. The Great Gatsby.
