The American Dream of the Great Gatsby (i Never Titled It)Join now to read essay The American Dream of the Great Gatsby (i Never Titled It)The American Dream is an idea and a myth that people struggle for but can never be achieved. It cannot be attained because it is an endless race for perfection and better than oneself. For some the dream might be to become impossibly wealthy, or become stronger and smarter than one can be. People pursue the American dream because they believe it has been accomplished before. We live in a society where perfection is ideal and flaws are covered up or hidden. Americans believe that everyone else is perfect because that is what they are shown, and they strive to copy that flawless image too. They are thought of in the same way however, and the All-American power struggle ensues, with each group being more jealous than the next.
America is founded on the principle of liberty, the notion that everyone is free to say and write what they want, and that everyone is equal. Some people assume that since so much freedom is allowed, at least one person is exercising that freedom to its fullest. They work their whole lives to try to be like that person, but that person does not exist. They want to be as rich as him, as sophisticated as him, and as powerful as him. These people are called the wealthy. Karl Marx would describe them as “The Haves”. They differ morally with the majority of the population, but then again they vastly different from the people they perceive as having all the freedom to do what they want. The Great Gatsby illustrates the story these people, and how they are corrupted by the potential of seemingly limitless freedom.
Jay Gatsby and Tom and Daisy Buchanan are the elite. They have it all, from huge sprawling mansions to private golf courses. They want it all, and more often than not, they get it all. Tom and Daisy are out for pleasure, but loner Jay Gatsby is looking for love after wasting his life for so many years.
Tom and Daisy Buchanan are not modest people. They know they are rich andthey flaunt it. They openly show off their wealth openly to Nick when he comes to visit. Money has taken over their lives and they know it. They are living the American Dream of money, power, and sophistication. Tom is described as a “hulking wad of muscle”, which could mean that the Buchanans is a deciption of the corrupted rich families with money and power. Daisy is the sophisticate, for example, she is once described as wearing a “white evening gown”. Her clothes are described in detail occasionally, and she has an outfit for every occasion. The Buchanans have money, power and sophistication but they do not know how to use it, so they splurge it on trips to tropical islands and fancy cars. They are indirectly described as the corrupted and immature 1% of America’s population; for example,
[1] Tom and Daisy Buchanan are the conservative, pro-immigrant, and pro-establishment American liberals and leftists.

In our previous section on “Rosa Luxemburg: ________________________ďż˝?” we said that Rosa Luxemburg was the “most hated socialist.” Her name is widely known, but there is no official account of this character of her or of her ideology other than that she was a leader of the German Communist Party for a long time and wrote, published and appeared as a radical for more than twenty years. After several hundred years, Rosa became the party leader of the United States. The reason why Rosa Luxemburg was considered the favorite of American liberals and leftists was not because of what she believed. As we have discussed, some were impressed that she was the “newest leftist” who did not believe in “a total social revolution”—but that she understood and supported certain features of a more radical political program. One factor, however, which she was not impressed by, was that as she spoke of her beliefs, her “leftward political movements” were less organized and more focused on politics and “liberal welfare state policy” as a tool and a means to an end. In short, her ideas for a more radical leftist agenda had been superseded by those of American conservatives and leftists. Even if there was not a strong basis for this, it would have been the result of the conservative and liberal political parties that she was opposed and which he supported politically. Thus, the “liberal welfare state” and social democratic parties had been the “newest left” parties, and those on the left had not. The leftist party of Luxemburg was supported from the very start. She was called the “radical socialist of the French Revolution” or the reformist of “socialism.” __________________
