  • the American Dream has transformed from a pure ideal of security into a convoluted scheme of materialistic power.
  • Jay Gatsby, who epitomizes the purest characteristic of the American Dream: everlasting hope.
  • depravity of the modern dream to wealth, privilege, and the void of humanity that those aspects create. Money is clearly identified as the central proponent of the dream's destruction; it becomes easily entangled with hope and success, inevitably replacing their places in the American Dream with materialism.

    "The source of real alcohol was obtained by smuggling it in from Mexico, Canada, and the West Indies. This trade, known as bootlegging, became quite profitable. Many of those who worked for the law did not help to rid of these problems, as they were able to make a little extra cash through bribes."

    The roaring twenties were a tumultuous period in American history. Traditionalist values in the period essentially evaporated due to the profitable underground alcohol trade, new and more revealing fashion standards, and an all around freer lifestyle. Gatsby and Nick lived in the heart of the roaring twenties, and the effects of the period were felt by them through lavish parties and immoral behavior.

    This source portrays Gatsby as an admirable man who did everything he could in pursuit of his American dream. While Nick Carraway despised "everything Gatsby stood for", he was really a man with a purpose and a desire for a better life.
