Read the following discussion:
MATT:
In The Great Gatsby, it's pretty clear that the only thing
Gatsby really wants in life is Daisy Buchanan.
IDA:
Right. I mean, his whole life has been about pursuing and
impressing Daisy. He's clearly fixated on her alone.
KELLY:
Do you really think that Daisy is his only motivation? What
about the whole idea of wealth? Maybe he doesn't want to
be involved with Daisy as much as he wants to be like her
and her husband.
JORGE:
That's probably true, at least a little. But the irony is that
Gatsby has always been living a lie. He even changed his
name in order to convince Daisy that he was wealthier than
he was. And even though now he really is wealthy, he has
to keep up the lies.
MATT:
So you might say that Gatsby has succeeded in his goal of
becoming one of the privileged and wealthy, but because
he's living a lie, he hasn't really succeeded at all. That's
really interesting.
