Death of a Dream: The Gatsby StoryFrancis Scott Key Fitzgerald (1896-1940) is widely considered one of the greatest American writers of the 20th century century. His The Great Gatsby (1925) became one of the most widely read American novels of the 20th century (James Nagel, 2013). It is also called “the great American novel” (Deirdre Donahue, 2013). The story is set in the roaring era of America and the main hero is Jay Gatsby. The narrator of the story is Nick, and he is also Daisy's cousin. Gatsby loved Daisy when he was still in the army. With the help of Nick, the two lovers meet again and the story begins. Gatsby does everything to get Daisy back. He threw parties in the big house. He lost his life and all his wealth at the hands of a woman who doesn't love him at all. As for the narrator Nick, after coming East to learn the bond trade in the summer of 1922, he witnesses a story of desire and loss, dreams and disillusionment (Deirdre Donahue, 2013). At first, he is hopeful for his life. When he first meets millionaire neighbor Gatsby, he is still naive. But after witnessing the relationship between his married cousin Daisy and Gatsby and Gatsby's death, he begins to hate the city and he longs to return home. He looks at people differently, especially after Gatsby's death. The love between him and Jordan is also fragile, and Jordan's lies allow him to trust people less. According to Fitzgerald, love in this novel is for fools. Because in this era, people seek wealth and social status more than spiritual matters. Myrtle admits that she was a fool to marry George because he pretended to be someone he wasn't. She is having an affair with Tom and mistakenly believes that he will protect her and provide for her (F. Scott Fitzgerald, 2014). His death was entirely due to his innocence. Gatsby's love for Daisy is unrequited and becomes unworthy,
