She is a foolish๐Ÿคช but beautiful๐Ÿฅฐ woman who wants to try her best to imitates the upper-class people, ๐Ÿ‘ฉ‍✈️๐Ÿ‘ฉ‍✈️๐Ÿ‘ฉ‍✈️which shows that she is vain๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿ’ฐ. Although her behavior shows that she is uneducated ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ™…‍♂️๐Ÿ“šand unmannered๐Ÿ‘ป๐Ÿ‘ป๐Ÿ‘ป, she is still holding full of hope ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸtoward life and love.❤️❤️❤️ Nevertheless, her insatiable desire ๐Ÿ˜ˆ๐Ÿ˜ˆ๐Ÿ˜ˆand wrong consciousness๐Ÿ‘บ๐Ÿ‘บ๐Ÿ‘บ make her lose her mind ๐Ÿ‘€which leads to her death๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€. Also, what her desire for changing social class drives her to betray herself and her husband.๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Jay Gatsby
“Gatsby”็š„ๅ›พ็‰‡ๆœ็ดข็ป“ๆžœHe is the most representative of the American dream, which is full of energy and enthusiasm.๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’ช No matter how he tries, he still cannot change his social class in the end. Also, he is a person who is blinded by money ๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ’Žand control by his past.๐ŸงŸ‍♂️๐ŸงŸ‍♂️๐ŸงŸ‍♂️ No matter how hard he works to change his past, he can not escape reality. Nevertheless, when he wants to use America's dream to achieve his dream to move to the upper class, he lost the direction๐Ÿค‘๐Ÿ˜ฆ๐Ÿ˜ง that makes him think daisy is the symbol of the upper class and the American dream could change his past. In this way, he lost the morality that makes him betray himself to use crime ๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿ‘Žto make money.๐Ÿ’ต๐Ÿ’ต๐Ÿ’ต“beidge broken”็š„ๅ›พ็‰‡ๆœ็ดข็ป“ๆžœ

The American dream is the bridge that could make people achieve their American dream ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธand change their life. However, the bridge towards the American dream ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธis usually unrealistic and fragile ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€but full of temptation๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿ’ฐ. Thus, the American dream is the way that leads people to ruin.

On Myrtle Wilson 's way to achieve the American dream, she started to beyond the reality ๐Ÿ‘€that makes her lost her judgments ๐Ÿคช๐Ÿคช๐Ÿคชabout the situation which cause the horrible death of herself. At the beginning of all, she misunderstood the way ❎❎❎to achieve that thought Tom could bring her better life and change her social class which makes her beyond reality๐Ÿ™…‍♂️๐Ÿ™…‍♂️๐Ÿ™…‍♂️. Also, she was always changing her behavior to make her fit in the new environment ๐Ÿ‘ป๐Ÿ‘ป๐Ÿ‘ปand think she is one of the upper class, ๐Ÿคต๐Ÿคต๐Ÿคตwhich make her lose the honest and sincere ๐Ÿ˜•๐Ÿ™☹️but increased her vanity๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ’Ž. In this way, she lost her judgment to her surroundings that think her social class had changed which is the same as Tom. ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿ‘‹

In the novel, it is said that “With the influence of dress, her personality had also undergone a change.”

Gatsby is the person who seems to have already changed his life and achieve his American dream.๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ His original intention ๐Ÿ’Žis to become a gentleman who is rich and knowledgeable๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ’ฐ. However, when he in the way to make his dream come true, he starts to lose the direction๐Ÿคฒ๐Ÿคฒ๐Ÿคฒ that makes himself think that being with Daisy could change his social class and find his confidence.๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ™Œ
“gatsby”็š„ๅ›พ็‰‡ๆœ็ดข็ป“ๆžœ In the novel, it is said that “It had gone beyond her, beyond everything. He had thrown himself into it with a creative passion, adding to it all the time, decking it out with every bright feather that drifted his way.”
 This part shows that he has already lost his mind that makes him feel confused ❓❓❓❓about what he wants. Thus, we can know that what he is fighting for is far from his original intention of meeting daisy because of the American dream๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ. Furthermore, this medium to success has already changed Gatsby’s dream that make it more realistic.

As far as I am concerned, both are the losers in the American Dream, ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜ฑbecause both they lost their direction ๐Ÿคช๐Ÿคช๐Ÿคชwhen they try to achieve their goals. Gatsby can never achieve his dream because what he wants is no longer being married to Daisy but wants to achieve an illusion ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญthat he can change his past and the perfect Daisy๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ’” will love ❤️him forever. For Myrtle Wilson, her American dream can never come true is that she misunderstands the relationship with Tom๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜ฑ and ignore the difference ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜ฎbetween her and upper social class.๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ“š

“myrtle wilson”็š„ๅ›พ็‰‡ๆœ็ดข็ป“ๆžœFor Myrtle Wilson, I think society needs to make a change because society gives people like her a massage that they all have chances to make their dream come true๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™. Society makes her become hypocrisy and betray herself to cheat with Tom. ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜ฑAlso, society makes everyone become impetuous and pursue temporary happiness❤️❤️❤️. Thus, the reason that she wants too much from tom also is that society makes the way toward the American dream๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ˜ณ seem to be easy.

Nevertheless, for Gatsby, he is the one who needs to change, because he lost the goal to fight for. ๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ’”When what he wants to become unrealistic, like an illusion๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿ‘Ž, he has already lost the meaning of his American dream. Thus, he needs to find what he is looking for again๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’ช and understand the difference๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ between new money and old money to find himself again.๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿ’ฐ

I think the society that Myrtle Wilson facing is like Detroit. Detroit before 2013 was famous for its motor industry, and the auto workers holding the hope for a better future by pursuing the American dream. ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’ชAlso, they think the American dream could bring a higher social class. ☹️☹️☹️The government in Detroit is like Gatsby that lost its way to development and only develop its motor industry. ๐Ÿš—๐Ÿš—๐Ÿš—It is impossible for a city to only focus on heavy industry and ignore others which leads the fate of the city to move to ruin. ๐Ÿ’ฃ๐Ÿ’ฃ๐Ÿ’ฃ๐Ÿ’ฃThe people in Detroit were like Myrtle Wilson who desires the money ๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ’Žthat almost everyone in this city wanting to be a worker in the car industry.  It is ironic ☹️☹️☹️that the society in Detroit was also broken like the American dream of Gatsby and Myrtle.

 Thus, is shows that the medium of the American dream is unrealistic and fragile.๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€
