Now don’t get me wrong, "The Great Gatsby" is my favorite book of all time and I would never change a single word written by F. Scott Fitzgerald. But if I may, Gatsby deserved so much more than what he got. I know what you’re thinking, wasn’t he a crook? Didn’t he embezzle money? Help rig the World Series? Come up with a fake name so that no one would think he was poor. Wasn’t he so obsessed with the thought of being rich that he pretty much up and left his parents without ever attempting to reconnect even with all his success in life? And to answer those questions, Yes, Yes he did.
But he loved Daisy so much and Daisy was only really in it for the money. She never really loved Gatsby.
After Gatsby deployed she moved right on and didn’t regret it until she read a letter from him on the day she married Tom. She sounds like a gold digger if you ask me. Gatsby purposely bought a mansion across the water from Daisy so that every night when he looks out over the water he sees the green light at the end of her dock and reaches for her. He throws these giant parties people from all over the world attend because he hopes that one day she’ll stumble in and they’ll fall in love again and yay everything's going to be okay.
Come on Jay, get it together man. He went above and beyond to show Daisy he cared for her and all she did was literally get him killed.
Poor Gatsby, all that love and all he got was a bullet to the chest.
