The Great Gatsby shows us a reminder of the American Dream. How the American Dream is not achieveable for all. James Gatz (Gatsby) wanted to make a new life for himself and become a different person. But in the end this blind pursuit of an ideal lead to his downfall. He believed that he could become anyone and do the impossible to change his social status. But as the novel shows it is not ideal for this occur, trying to change your self and become something can lead to blind pursuit of an ideal and this blind pursuit can lead to your downfall. Just like how Mrytle believed that by being with Tom she could suddenly become like the elite rich, she in the end couldn't change who she was and died. Just as Gatsby died, in the end they both died because they went after a dream they couldn't chase. So in essence Great Gatsby tells Americans the dangers of excess and waste and how the American Dream is not accesible to all.
