Abstract
The great Gatsby lived in the period of the First World War, when people were suspicious about the traditional notions and intended to break out them. In the novel, Daisy is a woman who was born in a rich family, and she always lives a luxuriant life of the upper class. Obviously, the person who wants to get her love must have enough money to offer her a luxuriant life. In order to make his American Dream come true, which is to win Daisy, Gatsby tries every possible means including illegal trade of alcohol to make a fortune. However, when Gatsby helps Daisy to escape from the accident successfully, and mistakenly be murdered by the husband of Tom’s mistress, his American Dream is broken. There is nothing left to him after his death, his wealth no longer means anything, and Daisy does not come back to him, either.
This thesis based on an analysis of the break of Gatsby’s American Dream in the novel The Great Gatsby which was written by Fitzgerald and published in 1925. From the analysis, we can have a view about the relationship between love and money of the characters in the novel——love is closely connected with money. And then according to the status quo in reality, it draws a conclusion that there is a close relationship between love and money in reality. In sum, it is an analysis of the relationship between love and money in reality according to the break of Gatsby’s American Dream.
Key Words
The American Dream; love; money; disillusionment
Introduction
The First World War influenced the American Dream which was handed down from the older generations, and people were suspicious about the traditional notions and started breaking out them. At that time, nihilism① and hedonism② were formed, and the pursuit of material-luxury made people feel alien and cool. Youthful generation who lived in that period looked forward to a kind of luxuriant life; therefore, they bought cost things, took part in extravagant parties, and looked down upon others who were poor and so on.
The Great Gatsby is a love story written by F. Fitzgerald about the life which the youth lead at that time, and it mainly describes Gatsby''s quixotic passion for Daisy Buchanan, which is the symbol of his American Dream. In the novel, the character Gatsby is overwhelmed by only one thing that he does not possess, that is to be loved. Gatsby’s love for Daisy is real and strong, and he can do everything to win Daisy. The Great Gatsby is a realistic demonstration of the ruin of the American Dream, because Gatsby’s American Dream is to have more money than Tom——Daisy’s husband who is so rich that he can do everything he likes and he can also offer Daisy a better life, and finally wins Daisy’s love. The reason that Gatsby can not make his American Dream come true is not because that he doesn’t do his best, but the American Dream he pursues is the love of Daisy, who was born in a rich family and always lives a luxuriant life from the time she was born. However, Gatsby comes from an unfortunate farm family in North Dakota, and it is not easy for him to live a higher standard life, not mention to afford the extravagant life of Daisy.
When Gatsby becomes a millionaire and he has the financial ability to give Daisy a better life, Daisy takes much notice of him indeed and she really has the thought to be in love with him again. Unfortunately, Gatsby’s American Dream is broken quickly when he is dead and Daisy, does not feel any sadness but only happiness, leaves for another city with his husband. There is something separates them from each other, and it is wealth and social status. If Gatsby has much money in the very beginning, they may have been together and lives happily ever after. According to the break of Gatsby’s American Dream, there is a truth in reality that love and money have a close relationship.

盖茨比美国梦的幻灭
It is believed that everybody wishes to get money so that he can maintain his livelihood. In other words, money is so useful that it is impossible for mankind to live a single day without money. So, it is reasonable to claim that there is a close relationship between love and money while love is only a component of life.
This thesis chooses the novel The Great Gatsby as the main material. It aims at analyzing the relationship between love and money in reality according to the break of Gatsby’s American Dream. In the previous chapters, we first have an overview of the writer Fitzgerald and the background he lived. Then by the comparison of the American Dream in different social and historical backgrounds, we have a general knowledge of American Dream in the special period that Gatsby lives. Thus comes to the conclusion that love in reality is closely connected with money through the analysis of Gatsby’s American Dream and the reason it breaks.
In the novel, if Daisy was not born in a rich family, it is impossible for Gatsby to fall in love with her. On the other hand, if Gatsby doesn’t lie to Daisy that he is rich enough to afford her a better life, Daisy would not have been in love with him, either. Through illegal trade of alcohol, Gatsby becomes a millionaire and he can give Daisy an extravagant life easily. And Daisy falls in love with him again. However, the time Gatsby is murdered mistakenly, and all his wealth doesn’t mean anything to Daisy ever after, Daisy, with her husband, goes traveling happily. As Yu Dan points out, it means that Gatsby’s American Dream is broken. (Yu Dan, 2006, 4:3)There is nothing left to him, and he doesn’t win Daisy’s love till the end of his life.
Zhang Tianjing points out that the reason for the fall of Gatsby’s American Dream is that their love is based money, and material needs are the premise of their love. (Zhang Tianjing, 2004, 3:2)It is the money Gatsby has that Daisy really loves. Actually, it is the truth that money is necessary to the life of every human being; without money, no one can live a normal life any one day, and it needs more money to live a better life.
Therefore, based on the analysis above we can reach at a conclusion that love and money in reality has a close relationship.
