Great Gatsby

Motif Project part 3

Gatsby is a book about rich people, a lot of relationships in person and behind the back, and it also includes a lot of drama which leads to jealousy and possessiveness. In the book, everybody seems to be wealthy enough to pay for expensive cars and expensive houses. But if you are in Gatsby’s wealth range, then you can pay for expensive parties as well. Relationships are all over the place in the book, but the biggest ones are the ones between Gatsby and Daisy, Tom and Daisy, and Tom and Myrtle. Gatsby and Daisy’s relationship first started when Gatsby left for the war and returned. When he returned, he still had feelings for Daisy and so he bought a house across the bay from Daisy and threw massive parties in order to interest and invite Daisy to them. He threw these parties to show off his wealth, make friends and get to know Daisy a lot better when she would show up to the party. Daisy, is basically what you can call a “gold digger.” Which is a person that is only interested in a person for their money and not really for themselves. Daisy, after seeing and going to a few of Gatsby’s parties, started to fall for Gatsby because of his wealth, but Gatsby would ultimately end up in the so called “friend zone” in the end. Tom and Daisy had a relationship going as Gatsby was overseas in the war. While in this relationship, Tom cheated on Daisy with Myrtle in a secret, low key relationship that barely anybody knew about in the story until the end. This caused intense drama at the end with all of these relationships because in the end, when Daisy hit and killed Myrtle with Gatsby’s car on accident, Wilson ended up killing Gatsby because he thought that Gatsby was driving the car because it was Gatsby’s car who had killed Myrtle.

“He wanted nothing less of Daisy than that she should go to Tom and say: “I never loved you.” Gatsby is highly jealous Tom because he is in a relationship with Daisy when Gatsby feels like he should be in that position....
