Great Gatsby is an example of the tragic power of love. We always feel a sharp injustice towards Gatsby, whose love and life ended so tragically. This novel, told from the perspective of Nick, each time when he learns the facts about the life of Gatsby, sees how complicated and full of mysteries his life is. It turns out that Gatsby knew Daisy and was in love with her all this time, he was prevented from marrying her by the fact that he was poor. And he set himself the goal of getting rich in order to be worthy of it. I really like the fact that he was kind to Daisy, it was shown at the moment when the accident happened and Gatsby was advised to leave the city for a while until the situation calmed down. But Gatsby didn't leave town because he was worried about Daisy.

So, people no longer strive for personal success; now they only want to earn money, spend it and consume it. This is the world of rich and successful people who are mired in material goods, behind which there are no value orientations. But as it turns out, that doesn't make them happy.

Gatsby is consumed by the pursuit of wealth for the sole purpose of being with Daisy. But, as the ending of the novel shows, money cannot help him in this. The ideal of romantic love does not match reality. Daisy in Gatsby's dreams does not match the girl he meets after the war.

Gatsby was needed as long as people could take advantage of his generosity. This moment shows the importance of material values ​​for society. In general, I liked this story because it shows the essence of people, Getby, who was completely different, he followed his goals and made them a reality. He knew exactly what he wanted and achieved it. Also, his strong love, for which he risked everything and was ready for anything for the sake of his beloved. I liked his dedication, unfortunately, his life ended tragically.
