Hope and dream are the two major ingredients of this dream. Wilson
represents the working class who must constantly struggle to make ends
meet. The Buchanan’s, on the other hand, have unimaginable wealth. In
Fitzgerald's America, if you are not rich, at least you can hope and
dream to become something. Ironically Gatsby, who has become something,
is looked down upon by the old establishment. Still, chapter one sets us
up for what defines the characters that we meet in the novel. Even
people of wealth, having achieved the "dream", hope to be happy.
