It turns out that Gatsby made a fortune by selling alcohol, and alcohol was banned in the United States in the early 19th century. Now, Gatsby is a "drug Lord", which is legally unacceptable. In the final analysis, it is his perseverance and vanity that make him take risks for his beloved and live a false and prosperous life. He loves Daisy, and he wants to keep Daisy with the best and grandest splendor. No one can imagine how much sweat he has paid behind him, and how lonely he will be when he climbs from the bottom to the upper class. As he said: Although I have many things, sometimes I feel that I have nothing. So Gatsby is really something.
Of course, this life against core values will be shattered one day. Another turning point in Gatsby's life happened at a party one day. He tried his best to confess everything to Tom, and then he took Daisy away. However, when Tom revealed Gatsby's identity as a "drug Lord", Daisy collapsed. She didn't expect that her so-called happiness turned out to be a scam. Gatsby collapsed. He hit Tom out of control. In Nick's words, he was as excited as if he had just killed a man. To his disappointment, Daisy told him in this farce that she loved Tom.
The end of the story is another climax. It is so painful that I don't know how to describe it. All I can say is that Daisy killed Tom's mistress with her car, and Gatsby took the fall for her. And Tom used the knife to kill people, and Gatsby was buried.
I think the great thing about Gatsby is that he realized his ambition and went through fire and water for his beloved. Don't Gatsby know that he is committing a crime? Doesn't Gatsby know that Daisy may have changed her mind? I think he knows, but he doesn't want to give up his dream, whether it's black or white, he just wants to go on alone. Even if he became extreme, even if he was spurned by the world, he had at least what he wanted-to die for Daisy, which he was willing to do.
Compared with more cowards, Gatsby is great. "the great" he deserves it.
if he had been born in peacetime, would everything be different?
It is that we continue to push forward and sail against the current, but the waves keep pushing us back until we return to the past.
