The purpose of this paper is to analyze realization of dream and redemption of love in The Great Gatsby. The condition of human life is to aspire and realize the dream, so it is natural for a man to pursue his own ideal. Such a dream enables a man to project himself towards his purpose of life, to heighten his subjective value of life. Gatsby made his appearance before Daisy when he achieved the success of rags-to-riches as ‘American Dream.’ Gatsby tried to redeem the romantic love with Daisy in Louisville in the process of realizing his own dream from the past. It appeared that she was too contaminated by a material life as much as Tom to enter the world of Gatsby’s dream. His extraordinary effort for love with Daisy kept him striving to make his dream real against time and reality steadily. Gatsby never doubted Daisy’ love for himself. But as a result of the Buchanans’ snobbish conspiracy to kill him, Gatsby was shot to death in his pool, waiting for Daisy to call him. But Gatsby’s future-oriented idealism beats on, forever, transcending his death and the realm of reality. Nick ascribes Gatsby’s greatness to his hopeful idealism. Gatsby’s dream made his life meaningful and glorious. His dream is the concept that includes the eternal love of human life, transcending time and space, life and death. Therefore, Gatsby can be really “Great” in that Gatsby’s love for his own is redeemed through the realization of his dream.
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to analyze realization of dream and redemption of love in The Great Gatsby. The condition of human life is to aspire and realize the dream, so it is natural for a man to pursue his own ideal. Such a dream enables a man to project himself towards his purpose of life, to heighten his subjective value of life. Gatsby made his appearance before Daisy when he achieved the success of rags-to-riches as ‘American Dream.’ Gatsby tried to redeem the romantic love with Daisy in Louisville in the process of realizing his own dream from the past. It appeared that she was too contaminated by a material life as much as Tom to enter the world of Gatsby’s dream. His extraordinary effort for love with Daisy kept him striving to make his dream real against time and reality steadily. Gatsby never doubted Daisy’ love for himself. But as a result of the Buchanans’ snobbish conspiracy to kill him, Gatsby was shot to death in his pool, waiting for Daisy to call him. But Gatsby’s future-oriented idealism beats on, forever, transcending his death and the realm of reality. Nick ascribes Gatsby’s greatness to his hopeful idealism. Gatsby’s dream made his life meaningful and glorious. His dream is the concept that includes the eternal love of human life, transcending time and space, life and death. Therefore, Gatsby can be really “Great” in that Gatsby’s love for his own is redeemed through the realization of his dream.
