Also, he shows that Gatsby views.
beauty as a materialistic quality. Gatsby's materialistic view of beauty can be seen in his love for.
Daisy when Gatsby says, "her voice is full of money- (127). This quote by Gatsby shows how he.
identifies his love for Daisy with his love for money. Gatsby and Daisy met in Louisville, where.
they fell in love with each other, however, when Gatsby left for "The Great War- (World War I),.
Daisy fell in love and married Tom Buchanan. The most significant difference between Tom and.
Gatsby was their economic and social standing in society. Tom was wealthy and powerful, and.
Gatsby was from a middle class midwestern family with little money or prestige to their name.
Gatsby dreams of one day reuniting with Daisy and recapturing the love he lost, and he.
accomplishes this by acquiring the wealth and social status, which he lacked five years before.
Gatsby invites Tom and Daisy to one of his parties and to display his new position among.
society's elite, Gatsby says, " You must see the faces of many people you've heard about'-.
(111). Gatsby also refers to Tom as "the polo player,"" implying that Tom is insignificant.
compared to the many "celebrities- present at the party (111). Daisy, however, is impressed by.
Gatsby's exorbitant amount of wealth, and she is eager to see him. Gatsby, in turn, used his.
materialism and excessive displays of wealth to reunite with his former love. .
Gatsby is able to turn his dreams into reality. Gatsby idolizes money, and through bootlegging.
alchol, he is able to obtain it. Gatsby also wants to intimately reunite with Daisy, despite her status.
as a married woman. These two desires of Gatsby's come to show the lengths Gatsby is willing to.
go, even if it is illegal or morally unacceptable, to obtain his dreams. Gatsby hides his involvement.
in the bootlegging of alcohol not only to preserve his innocence, but also to give the impression.
that he is wealthy on his own accord.
