great gatsby: american dream
For me, the most interesting part of the book was the vision of social classes in the book. Perhaps what Fitzgerald wanted to say was the corruption of the American dream. I felt with the characters development how the life is only appearances and collective approval and the different visions of the American dream that had the characters.
For example the development of Gatsby and his change since he was only a child in a poor family, only for daisy´s love, through materialism and power.
